SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
\ With art resembling that of animated film and several graceful dance scenes, this story could easily be set to a sound track. ...a pleasing tale for reading aloud and storytelling\


PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
\ Barrager brings a fittingly soign aesthetic to this retelling\


For all those youngsters who feel coziest with a cement mixer jammed into an armpit and a dump truck wedged at their feet, Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site might be the best bedtime book ever.
