Danny Dozer, Barney Backhoe and their friends are building habitats for the new animals at the Deerfield Valley Zoo. As kids read the story and lift the flaps, they can help Danny and his friends do their work, and meet the meerkats, crocodiles, panda bears, and monkeys that are new at the zoo.

It's hard work building a house, but Barney is strong! He can help by digging holes, bringing supplies to the building site, and lifting heavy loads. By the end of the story, Barney has built a family home, a doghouse, a playhouse, and even a shed for himself. Age Range: 18 months to 4 years

Before he knows it, he's late for work! But when he gets to the big dig, he finds out that good deeds often lead to very good surprises!"--Cover back.
