At sunset, when their work is done for the day, a crane truck, a cement mixer, and other pieces of construction equipment make their way to their resting places and go to sleep.

Some of these won the Kate Greenaway Award - an award for excellent illustration. I've made a partial list here (this is an ugly list because I just needed a list of all the books in one place, with links to amazon, and I'm too lazy to do more now it works): http://danbc.neocities.org/index.html

- This year:
- I read the entire “Frog & Toad” collection. Probably about 30 times, some stories more.
- “Little Shrew’s Day”… probably 25 times.
- Many of the “Construction Site” series books, especially the OG “Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site”. The “Garbage Crew” and “Airport” books featured heavily.
- Started to mix in some “Pete the Cat” titles.
- “Detective Dog Nell” got a lot of air play.
Lots of others, but those are definitely the frequent fliers.
- “Rinker sold Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site to Chronicle for a $4,000 advance. The title has been on the New York Times list for three years, with more than 850,000 copies in print and rights sold into 23 territories.”
Seems like a lot of the writers got hosed
