Let's Build, written by Julie Fenner, reviewed by Terry Wahrman

Summary:  You are the new help at the critter construction worksite.  Safety first is our motto.   Put on a yellow hard hat and knock on it twice before we get to work.  To help get the attention of the green crane, clap twice.  First, we take down a building.  We need the crane to knock down a wall.  Can you point to the green crane and wave him over?  Help him by swinging the book left and right. The red bulldozer, the blue excavator, the pink dump truck, the purple cement truck and the orange forklift can all use help today.  It is fun to be a part of the crew.  After knocking down a wall, bulldozing the dirt, digging the earth, laying cement, planting trees, and setting up equipment,  look at what we built.  We built a playground.  Give yourselves a pat on the back.

Straight Talk for Librarians:  An interactive picture book for the one who cannot sit still.  You are new to the critter construction company and all the critters need help locating the equipment by color and doing their jobs.  You clap, tap, and move the book left, right and upside down to help out.  This will be a big hit with young students.  Not very suitable for sharing.  I would purchase two for a classroom.
