This new addition to the bestselling Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site series features the same beloved trucks in an exciting new setting: a busy farm!

This rollicking good book is full of bouncing, energetic rhymes that make for a tremendously satisfying read-aloud experience, and perfect for energetic kids who love construction! Ms. Rinker will be happy to sign copies, and we’ll have a variety of her books on hand.

More About Construction Site: Farming Strong, All Year Long: Just right for teaching early concepts such as weather or seasons, this picture book invites little readers to experience adventure on the farm every day of the year. From learning about nature and growing food to watching the construction crew tuck the animals into their new barn, there's so much to see and do on the farm! Sherri Duskey Rinker and AG Ford, the author-illustrator team behind the many bestselling Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site books, bring their playful rhyming text and vibrant illustrations to another exciting tale of teamwork, sure to delight little construction fans everywhere.
 
Kirkus Reviews says “Ford’s carefully composed illustrations use color to lovely effect, employing verdant hues for spring and golden yellows for summer. Truck enthusiasts will step right up for this next installment, and urban tots will glimpse a whole new world.”
