Review Quote* | "The beloved characters fromGoodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site. . . this time delving deep into the process of destruction. . . . Unlike many other books about demolitions, this one takes time to note that as materials are wrenched asunder, they're also sorted for recycling purposes. . . . Expect established fans to thoroughly enjoy both the familiar faces as well as newer types; readers new to the series will likely want to seek out earlier volumes. Ideal as a read-aloud. . . Aknock-down knockout in more ways than one."-Kirkus Reviews |
