the grumpiest of children."

right where he lives."

-Washington Post

BUILDER GOOSE:
IT'S CONSTRUCTION RHYME TIME!

written by Boni Ashburn
illustrated by Sergio De Giorgi

One, two, here comes the crew!
Three, four, here come more...

With three dump trucks, an itsy-bitsy skid steer, and a host of other equipment, there's a whole lot of building going on here! Amusing construction-themed nursery rhymes--each based on a Mother Goose favorite--feature diggers, graders, crushers, cranes, jackhammers, forklifts, and wrecking balls. With bright, bold illustrations, this fun read-aloud should be a big hit with kids.
