Other - 10/28/2024 This buoyant rhyming picture book introduces readers to construction foreman Hank, a black-and white-spotted dog who’s precise, focused, and knows exactly how to handle a range of circumstances. When a crane breaks down, writes Gunnufson (Dream Submarine), "He studies his tools,/ then selects the right one,/ replaces a gasket,/ and gets the job done!" Sharp-eyed readers will notice two turquoise-and-black birds hovering around the site, and the crew soon discovers an egg-filled nest atop a roof set to crown the building. Hank cogitates on how to adjust the plan, and then announces, "C’mon, crew!" leading the creation of an eco-friendly green roof filled with flowers and trees that accommodates both the project and the nest. Signature-style digital vignettes by Biggs (Pigs Dig a Road) make it clear that Hank’s canine crew deeply admires their boss. And the book’s outcome serves as a cheerful reminder that even meticulous planners can benefit from flexibility and creativity-particularly when the result serves the needs of all parties involved. An afterword includes project instructions. Ages 3-5. Author’s agent: Sam Farkas, Jill Grinberg Literary. Illustrator’s agent: Steven Malk, Writers House. (Feb.) - Copyright 2024
