Written by James Horvath
Head foreman Duke and his crew get ready to knock down an old building in town and build a new one. This story in rhyme will delight little children with its fast pace and colorful illustrations. There is a lot of action going on in the pictures, along with trucks and tools kids love. The dog crew is perfect and children can choose their favorite worker. This is a wonderful book for preschoolers and has lots of possibilities for a great read aloud using construction hats, toy tools, bouncy balls, etc. James Horvath has done a previous book, Dig, Dogs, Dig, with the same characters.
