Beginning readers will love this I Can Read adventure starring a doggy construction crew! The text and art have been gently adapted from James Horvath’s picture book of the same title.

Top dog Duke and his busy crew of construction worker dogs have a big day ahead of them as they race to repair a road. With miles of new road to lay, the crew gets to work using equipment like bulldozers, steamrollers, and paving trucks. But what happens when a rocky hill blocks the way? Time to bring in the demolition crew!

Work, Dogs, Work is a Level One I Can Read book, which means it’s perfect for children learning to sound out words and sentences.

 


Join Duke and his hardworking crew for a day on the job site.
