Illustrated by
Melanie Hope Greenberg.
A boy watches Digger the backhoe dig up a vacant lot and then Dump Truck, Cement Mixer, Flatbed, and Crane work together to erect a community center next to his apartment building. The childlike illustrations feature lots of construction site details, from hard hats to the silver snack truck, and the text brings the trucks and the scene to life.
