A rhyming picture book featuring pig construction workers that's perfect for fans of Good Night, Good Night, Construction Site.

Construction crew chief Rosie and her team are building a new road to the Hamshire County Fair. It's time to put on hard hats and boots, grab their hammers and stakes, and, of course, bring out the big trucks: bulldozers, excavators, pavers, rollers, and more!

Unfortunately, work with Rosie's crew doesn't always go as planned, and Curly, Pinky, and Stinky end up making one huge mess. Rosie is there to save the day, but she can't do such a big job all by herself. The county fair is starting soon, and there's only one way to get the road done on time . . . teamwork!

Pigs dig a road...in rhyme! Rosie pig and her hard-working crew are making a new road so everyone can get to the fair. These pigs know their way around a construction site, from staking to operating pavers, but they're also a little clumsy. Good thing Rosie is there to check their work and make it right!

This book is delightful from beginning to end. As a roadway engineer, I love how the pigs go through the stages of construction, starting with staking the site and ending with that nice, clean paint stripe. Of course, it's funny and heart-warming how Rosie cleans up their mistakes, and it also illustrates how everything isn't perfect on the job and what can be done to smooth over accidents and mistakes.

The illustrations are also super cute. The pigs are the star on every page, with a little bit of text sprinkled in to keep the story moving.

A perfect storytime read for fans of What Do People Do All Day, or little readers who like pigs and roads.
