Every night Alex's father goes to work as an engineer on a construction project, and Alex longs to go with him. Finally one evening Papa gives Alex a hardhat, and the boy accompanies his father to work. The crisp text and night-colored paintings depict the excitement of a construction site as Alex explores it with his father.
