Construction books for toddlers: Our bookshelf

When my son, Andrew, moved out of his crib and into a big-boy room, we decided to theme the room after his favorite thing in the world: construction trucks!

A construction-themed bedroom

We didn’t go crazy- just a few pictures here, some construction bedding there, and- my favorite- a construction truck themed book display right over his bed.

Andrew loves to pull these books down and read them before bed, and I’m planning to keep switching the books out every so often to keep things interesting.

Maybe we’ll switch to a fire engine theme next, or check out a bunch of airplane books from the library and display them here.

But for now, we have all of his favorite construction truck books displayed here. Scroll down to see which books we chose to include:

This is a short read (just a few words per page) that toddlers will love. The mixed-up truck accidentally mixes up flour and sugar instead of cement, and ends up making a cake!

We love this book, as well as Mighty Mighty Construction Site, and Construction Site Mission: Demolition! These books are the longest books that my 2 year old will listen to all in one sitting. He loves to name the different construction vehicles on each page, and I’m always amazed by his level of focus when we read one of them.

All 3 of my kids have this book memorized. It is so clever, well-written, and sweet at the same time, that we went out and bought the plane and train version as well. They are all so good!
