A puppy awakens to strange noises. Outside, a Dalmatian is at work in a digger; then comes a camel in a crane; and so on. Watching these big machines is exciting enough ("I love cranes!" exclaims the rapturous pup), but then a final spread reveals that the crew has built the puppy a treehouse. Dynamic illustrations and onomatopoeic vehicle sounds add appeal to the slight story.
