In this fun, rhyming alphabet book, a little boy pops up out of bed bright and early ("A is for Alarm"), excited for the day's big project: His family is building a treehouse! With help from a friendly foreman and several big machines ("B is for Bulldozer," "F is for Front-End Loader"), Mom, Dad, and the kids all pitch in to erect a magnificent playhouse in the sky…and learn lots about teamwork and safety along the way. If your little one is fascinated by trucks, tools, and all manner of building gear, this "construction alphabet" will get the job done at storytime! For ages 5 to 8. (KG)
