Crane Jane! (Big Jobs, Bold Women) by Andrea Zimmerman

Great combination of text and illustrations

Smashy Town by Andrea Zimmerman

VERY reminiscent of 'Dig, Dig, Digging" in my mind. A lot of repetition, I could see kiddos in storytime yelling SMASH SMASH SMASH and CRASH CRASH CRASH. It will definitely be a favorite of those who love anything and everything construction.
