Christopher Santoro.
Dinosaurs, construction, a rhyme spotlighting each letter of the alphabet--this offering includes some of the most kid-pleasing story elements in a single picture book. The alpha-centric rhymes aren't half-bad ("Forklifts beeping, shifting freight. / For fitting crates, this fleet's first-rate") but disappointingly have very little to do with dinosaurs. The high-gloss art features realistic-looking machinery and cartoonish dinos.
