Smashy Town

Fans of Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction
Site and I Stink! will love this rhythmic and lively picture book
from the popular creators of Trashy Town.

With a turn of
his crane and a swing of his wrecking ball, Mr. Gilly knocks down the old
buildings. He smashes through brick and wood. He crashes through
stone and glass. Then, with a push from his bulldozer, Mr. Gilly cleans it all
up to make room for something brand-new!

Featuring lively
text from Andrea Zimmerman and David Clemesha and dynamic art from acclaimed
illustrator Dan Yaccarino, Smashy Town is a bouncy read-aloud that will
delight young vehicle lovers.
