PreS-Gr 1—Tinyville Town is a happy place where everybody has a job to do and does it well. From the baker to the bus driver, people take pride in their work, and the town runs smoothly. When a traffic jam stops the orderly flow of their day, the townspeople realize that they need a new bridge. The mayor agrees and declares that this new bridge will be bigger, stronger, and more beautiful than the first. Using broad and colorful cartoon art, the story chronicles what it takes to complete such a project. Charming spreads of construction workers and vehicles fill the book with just enough detail to be interesting while not getting overcrowded. The endpapers display a bird's-eye view of the town and pictures of all the workers for readers to have fun finding. This is the first book about Tinyville Town by the creator of the popular "Everything Goes" series, and children who enjoyed the earlier titles will gravitate to this one.
VERDICT With a setting reminiscent of Richard Scarry's Busytown, this offering will be a hit with future city planners and engineers and all children who like to know how things work. Recommended for purchase.
