The construction crew is back and ready to help renovate! In this latest picture book in the New York Times bestselling series, everyone's favorite construction crew is teaming up on a new and exciting adventure: cleaning up a neighborhood that needs some love.

Since its debut more than a decade ago, Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site and the series of books it launched have become beloved favorites of kids and parents alike, with millions of copies sold. These popular, timeless bedtime stories continue to delight families everywhere! In their new adventure, the crew is working together with new friends--garbage trucks, roll-off trucks, container delivery trucks, and more!--to help refurbish old homes, set up dumpsters and garbage cans, sort trash, recycling, compost, and transport the garbage away.

A fleet of heroes, in they drive;
the whole earth shakes as they arrive.
Rumbling, roaring, rolling through,
they're big and strong (and stinky, too!)
It's the mighty GARBAGE CREW!

Sherri Duskey Rinker's playful rhyming text and AG Ford's vibrant illustrations make cleaning up fun from start to finish. Little construction fans will love watching trucks, both familiar and new, work together as a team to make these houses back into homes.
