Rinker, S. D., & Lichtenheld, T. (2011). Goodnight, goodnight, construction site. San Francisco: Chronicle Books.The construction site is very busy during the day. Crane Truck, Cement Mixer, Dump Truck, Bulldozer, and Excavator noisily and diligently toil at their work until the sun goes down. At the end of the day as darkness descends, each turns off his engine, relaxes, and sleeps.
With its soothing rhymes and sing-song feel, this book is an ideal bedtime story. It possesses the ambiance of a modern day nursery rhyme. Rowdy kids will love the trucks and how they work hard, get dirty, and make noise, but be soothed as they wind down and settle in to rest. Gentler children will notice Crane Truck's teddy bear and nightlight, Cement Mixer's blankie, and Excavator's snaggletooth. Parents will enjoy sharing this story repeatedly with their children each night.
