Publisher Description
Beginning readers will love this I Can Read adventure starring a doggy construction crew, gently adapted from James Horvath’s popular picture book of the same title.
Top dog Duke and his crew of construction-worker dogs are ready to knock down an old building and build up a shiny new one. With cranes, bulldozers, dump trucks, and cement mixers all on the job, these busy dogs have a lot to do. Will they finish the new building in time?
Build, Dogs, Build is a Level One I Can Read book, which means it’s perfect for children learning to sound out words and sentences.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The hardworking canines from 2013's Dig, Digs, Dig replace a dilapidated apartment building with a gleaming high-rise tower in this companion book. "The crane is in place./ The angle's correct./ Get the ball swinging now./ Wreck, dogs, wreck!" writes Horvath before a page turn reveals a colossal "boom" as the wrecking ball does its thing. From subterranean pipeworks and a 10-inch concrete base to finishing touches ("The last thing to do/ is install the doorbell"), children get a ground-up tour of how a building comes together. Paint mishaps, a "fetch" break, and other canine antics keep the mood light amid all the hard work. Ages 4 8.
