With three books in this series – Roadworks, Demolition, now this - you can easily guess their drift. The rhythmic text is filled with noisy words mimicking the patterned sounds of building. Brightly coloured illustrations have sharp outlines showing regular patterns in the struts and beams in frames. Female workers are shown in attribution to teamwork and inclusion. In a deft promotion of the joy of reading, the reader finds that the workers have been building a library all along. This busy book begs for lots of action reading with the under 5s.
