Reidy and Timmers have created a delightfully fun book perfect for construction-oriented story times. The rhymes are fun to read out loud and even to have the listeners repeat. I like texts like this because they feel so fun rolling off the tongue. This is the sort of text that helps children realize just how much fun words can be. The construction theme will undoubtedly be a hit for many young children as well the surprise at the end. Timmers' bright, colorful, engaging illustrations provide lots of details for children to look at and laugh at (the animals really skinny legs for one). The book also works really well for helping children develop visual literacy as they study the clues and try to figure out what the animals are building. There is more than one perfect spot to stop and let young listeners figure out what the end result is going to be. A delightful picture book that will provide a lot of fun for young readers and listeners.

I love all of Jean Reidy's books, and Busy Builders, Busy Week is no exception! Reidy's writing is charming and informative, and I feel like she does a great job of reaching out to kids with her playful language. I gave them to my niece and nephew when they were little, and now I read them to my own children. My two year old daughter knows all of the words to some of her books - and says them along with me! Do your kid a favor and buy this book for her!

As a reading specialist and kindergarten teacher, this is a wonderful rhyming book for the age 3-6 set. It also reinforces the days of the week. My own children (ages 3, 4 and 6) loved to guess the ending.

LOVE these illustrations. Silly rhyming text make this a fun read. Cute book! Source: Review copy

Construction + days of the week=captivated 3-year-old! Bravo Jean Reidy!
