Synopsis
In this bright, bold picture book, a cast of animal characters are building a brand-new playground in a local park for their community! Each day of the week contains a different construction plan as the steam-rolling, digging, and planting gets underway. Tuesday! Mix day! Pipe and boards and bricks day. Stack, spin, pour it in. Give the fence a fix day. Wednesday! Load day! Take it on the road day. Hoist, haul, pull it all. Something being towed day! The construction project comes together for a joyful, rhyming walking tour of a neighborhood, where young readers can learn the days of the week while watching everyone work as a team!

Newspapers & Magazines
Timmers's acrylic paintings present big-eyed, cheerful animals busy on the job using realistic looking tools and trucks. The brown of the dirt lot and fence (which gets a makeover, too) contrast with increasing splashes of color-the animals themselves, as well as the whimsical playground fixtures. The result is a joyful cacophony of color and activity. * Publishers Weekly * Young construction enthusiasts and animal lovers alike will be delighted by the zany details. The energetic rhyme and bright paintings make this a natural storytime crowd-pleaser. * School Library Journal * The lively text supports the joy, but in this case, the delight is in the details. * Kirkus Reviews * Richard Scarry has some competition. . . . The acrylic illustrations are bright and busy, full of details to spot. . . . Charming appeal. Neatly encapsulates the three-ring circus that is a little tyke's world and gives children an opportunity to practice all kinds of skills. * Kirkus Reviews on ALL THROUGH MY TOWN * With spreads jam-packed with detail and event . . . it's an undeniable feast for the eyes. * Publishers Weekly on ALL THROUGH MY TOWN * This spirited picture book is as much fun to browse through as it is to read, and it could spark classroom discussions about neighborhoods and community workers. * School Library Journal on ALL THROUGH MY TOWN *
