Up to now they've been kept really busy in their home town, Bobsville, mending and fixing just about everything. But that's all about to change! With help from him team, Bob's started work on a special plan for the town that works together with nature using recycled materials and powered by the sun and wind - to reduce waste and save energy! It's a big adventure, and the whole team is going to be moving out to Sunflower Valley. They're going to need a new builder's yard, new workshops and a new machine shelter. There's a lot to do and a lot to build! But luckily Bob's got some new machines coming out to the valley to help. And don't forget to watch out for Bob's mischievous friend Spud! CAN WE BUILD IT? YES WE CAN!
