    The hard-working animals living in Breezy Valley return as construction workers build a new town library, from foundation to finishing touches.

    In this fun and detail-packed picture book for kids ages 3-6, the workers of Breezy Valley bring their tools and trucks to tackle the big job of building a new library. After site prep, digging and laying the foundation, and framing, the tradespeople come in to take care of wiring, piping, painting, and more. Constant action, informative labels, and cut-aways combine to give young readers the full story of how a building gets built.
    "Another exciting visit to the adorable town of Breezy Valley, where friendly and highly competent animals are getting to build a new library. Readers will get to see the entire construction process from blueprints to opening day via R.W. Alley’s incredibly detailed pencil drawings, which he supplements with digital tools...Highly recommended for preschools, elementary schools, and public libraries."—Youth Services Book Review

    "Alley combines bold printed text with abundant, slightly smaller-print, pastel speech balloons; his narrative brims with subplots and jokes... The book-moving plan, however, is community genius, reflected, too, in the tiny Book Swap Libraries to find on the map. Fact-filled and fun—sure to keep attentive visitors as busy as its industrious cast."—Kirkus Reviews
