Builder Goose: It's Construction Rhyme Time!

(4) PS Illustrated by Sergio De Giorgi. "The Itsy-Bitsy Skid Steer," "Crumbling Bridge Is Falling Down," "Twinkle, Twinkle, Wrecking Ball"--it had to happen: someone would think to rewrite the Mother Goose classics in the construction-work vein; that the illustrations feature an all-animal crew is gravy. Too bad the execution isn't better: the rhymes sometimes feel stiffly constructed (so to speak). The well-composed art has a squeaky-clean look.
