Does your little one wave to the garbage truck each week? Don’t miss the newest addition to the Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site series where the garbage crew takes center stage.
The construction crew has a new job, to help renovate a community. The houses are rundown, the yards are full of junk, the trees are dead, and no one wants to live there anymore. As the construction crew arrives, they realize this job is too big for them to handle alone. What are they supposed to do with all the trash? They call in the garbage crew.
Even though the garbage crew is kind of smelly, they are hard workers. Roll-Off Truck brings in a huge container to load the trash into. The Container Delivery Truck brings in smaller dumpsters and lines them all up in a row. Flatbed brings even more garbage cans for each house. Soon everyone is working together to renovate the whole neighborhood.
The author shares her own story of her family finding a rundown building with solid bones and renovating it for their family to live in. My husband and I renovated our first home while our oldest children were just toddlers. We needed several dumpster containers during our construction time just like the crew in this book. Kids will love seeing the familiar construction crew characters on the page as well as meeting the new garbage crew.
This book shares important messages about working together as well as the reminder that old things can be new again. Sometimes they just need a little TLC. At the end of the project, the crew is ready for a good night’s rest…until their next project comes along.
Sherri Duskey Rinker lives in the Chicago area with her photographer husband and two sons. She’s constantly inspired — and often exhausted! Her books are love stories for her children, written to wrangle some smiles and with the hopes of happier bedtimes and sweet dreams for all.
