Summary

A rollicking laugh-out-loud board book about cranes and construction!

What can a crane pick up . . . a truck?
Yes, a truck! And a truck . . . And a truck . . .
And a railroad car, if it gets stuck.

Pick up construction tools, bricks, and loads of steel, then move on to funny objects like a cow, a Ferris wheel . . . even an ancient mummy’s case! With simple, fun rhymes and friendly illustrations, this book is sure to delight toddlers and parents alike. But watch out: Cranes pick UP—that’s what they do! Look out, or a crane might pick up you!
