review 2: My two favorite authors when I was just learning how to read were Richard Scarry and Dr. Seuss. Well, if ever there was the book that was the perfect blend of the the two, it would have to be this book! It tells the tale of head foreman Duke and his team of tail-waggin' friends as they demolish an old building and construct a new one. The illustrations are adorable, cheery and brightly colored. The story is told in classic rhyming style and is both in-depth and humorous. Children of all ages will love poring over this book with all the wonderfully detailed illustrations... can you find the black cat pouncing from page to page? Pick up this great title for the little construction worker in your life! less
