On each page, the same verb is illustrated two different ways: by a crane (the bird) and a crane (the construction equipment). Each one performs "Lift," "Stretch," "Honk," etc. in its own way: the crane is building a nest, and the crane is building a house for a couple who watches off to the side. The last few pages have similar words as the parallel stories conclude: Crack and Clack, Peep and Sleep, and finally Home.

The last page, "Crane Vs. Crane," labels the different parts of each.
