About the Book
The Tinyville Town series, new from New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Brian Biggs, launches with three books: Tinyville Town Gets to Work!, a world-establishing picture book that introduces the town and its many residents, and two board books, I’m a Veterinarian and I’m a Firefighter. The series is set in a cozy community where the people are kind, everyone says hello when they’re walking down the street, the bus is always on time, and all the townsfolk do their part to keep things running smoothly. Everyone has a job to do in Tinyville Town. With a nod to the busy world of Richard Scarry and the neighborhood feel of Sesame Street, this new series will become a favorite read for preschoolers and is ideal for story time and class discussions about occupations and community helpers. Tinyville Town is a growing, thriving city full of interesting people. The townsfolk can’t wait to show readers around!
In Tinyville Town Gets to Work!, we see the evolution of a construction project to solve a problem. When there is a traffic jam on the Tinyville Town bridge, the residents decide to work together to build a new one. By following the hard work of the engineers and construction workers, readers will get to meet many different people in the town while watching the exciting new bridge take shape. The large picture book format and Biggs’s bright art brilliantly show the bridge, which was extensively researched to make it authentic for readers.
Every town has a bridge, and a trip over Tinyville’s new one will be fun for kids time and time again.

My Review
Tinyville Town Gets to Work is a lively story that introduces readers to the people of Tinyville Town and the different jobs they perform in order to keep the town running smoothly. Things are perfect in Tinyville Town until the day no one can get to work because of a traffic jam on the bridge. The people looked to the Mayor for a solution. Can the he find a way to restore order to Tinyville Town?
I found this to be an entertaining story that teaches children that every person in Tinyville Town, and their town too, is important and when they all work together they can accomplish great things. The artwork is brilliantly detailed and children will enjoy taking everything in as they explore Tinyville Town.
I highly recommend picking up a copy as well as checking out the rest of the books in the series.
