Looking for a quick read for a kid who loves dogs and construction? Look no further than Work, Dogs, Work by James Horvath.

Work, Dogs, Work on Amazon

My son loves this book he received as a gift one year. Although the title always makes me think of the perennial favorite Go, Dogs. Go!, it has no relationship to that story. The dogs here repair a road, build a tunnel, and make bridge using all types of construction vehicles and equipment, but they know how to have a good time, too. 

With easy words, big pictures, and a nice paperback that weighs next to nothing and fits easily inside most bags or backpacks, you can take this book almost anywhere, and have time to read it (maybe more than once!), too.
