Featured Title: Construction Site: Firefight!
Construction Site: Firefight!

Firefighting vehicles and other heroic trucks join forces to battle a fire and make sure everyone is safe and sound in this exciting addition to the New York Times bestselling Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site series.

When powerful winds knock over electric lines and start a dangerous fire, there’s a big job to do. Thankfully, help is on the way! Fire Engine, Foam Truck, Water Tender, and the rest of the mighty fire crew join forces with the classic Construction Site friends to save the day. Working through the night, they put out the flames, clean up the mess, and focus on what matters most—keeping everyone safe.

Sherri Duskey Rinker’s lively, rhyming text and AG Ford’s vibrant illustrations bring this team of heroic firefighters to life. Little construction fans will love watching trucks, both familiar and new, work together as a team to save the construction site.
