Gator comes to the work project site with his excavator. His friends are ready to work, too. Gator is so excited, he steps in and does most of the work. When he steps in to do a job better suited for his friend who works the crane, the project is in peril. Gator learns a lesson.

This story in rhyme tells a powerful story about learning to work as a team. Vocabulary words associated with building increase a child's verbal skills. The adorable illustrations help to clearly describe the various verbs and nouns.
