Used this in story time yesterday and let me tell you - the boys absolutely loved it. At the end when I had them chant back Jackhammer Sam's song even the girls enjoyed it too. I love Catrow's illustrations, in particular the dog perching on the stone on the back cover. It was fun. It's not the best children's book I've ever read. However, if you have a child who is fixated on construction sites this will be a fun read for them!

This is a wonderful sing songy story that is made even better by Catrow's illustrations. I will never look at a Jack hammering construction worker the same again.
