Oliver is a construction crane, and he's been hired to help build a condo tower where hundreds of people will live. It's his job to lift big, heavy things way up into the air. Oliver and his friends hoist rebar, lift fly forms, and unload concrete as the building comes together floor by floor. He loves working with his friends onsite, but when the job is done, what will happen to him?

Every kid loves to know how things are made, especially the role of big trucks and heavy machines. Oliver the Crane embraces that curiosity and teaches kids how a tower crane works, what goes into building a high-rise condo, and what happens to machinery when it's not on the job. Kids will learn all about the construction industry, and even parents might learn a new fact or two!
