The Hard Work Day

<b>From beloved actor Alan Arkin comes a new edition of his classic picture book, updated and reissued with irresistible new art.</b><br><br>Tony is repeatedly denied the opportunity to participate as the rest of his family fixes up their new home—they all say he's too young! And so, off he goes to a nearby hillside and builds a house of his own! He lays a stone floor, chops down trees to make log walls and a roof, and piles loads of rocks to make a fireplace and chimney. When his family finds him napping in the new home on a woven grass rug, they applaud his work and ask if they can move in with him! <br><br>Partially inspired by true events, this timeless story by actor Alan Arkin reminds the youngest readers that they are as capable, smart, and important as anyone else!
