This Is the Crew That Builds Our School
From construction workers to tradespeople, everyone pitches in to build a school in this silly read-aloud that will have readers giggling from page to page.
A new school is being built and it will take a parade of builders and bricklayers, plumbers and painters, and more, to get the job done. This bouncy, rhyming story set to the snappy tune of “This Is the Way,” will give readers a closer look at some of the tradespeople and machinery that help build the communities we live in. Silly animal illustrations will engage readers and give them giggles read after read. A perfect pick for young readers fascinated by construction!

Kirkus - This is the Crew That Builds Our School
This winner will build a crew of readers, listeners—and singers—who’ll want to revisit again and again.
Author: Sherry Fellores
Sherry grew up in the south suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. When she was a kid, she didn’t have a lot of books or enjoy reading very much. It wasn’t until one of her teachers read stories aloud that she found magic in between the pages of a book. Now, she reads every day and writes stories for kids in hopes that a child will find the magic in the pages she writes. She lives and writes in Indiana.
