Tammie Lyon.
After driving into town on bumpy land, Farmer Dibble requests a road. The book proceeds to describe and show readers the signage, workers, and trucks required to get the job done. The youngest readers will relish the abundant onomatopoeia ("Rumble, rumble!"), older kids will appreciate learning the trucks' proper names, and both will admire the attentive watercolors.
