Robert Neubecker.
Four little monsters work at a construction site, breaking for lunch, a story, and a nap. With its kid-friendly milieu, creepy cast, and thoughtful nods to a kindergartner's schedule, readers will lap this up. The digitally colored India ink illustrations are feisty and funny, especially the building the monsters create: a majestic, animal-head-bedecked mansion ("The colors all clash. The design is divine!").
