Description

Little Bulldozer can't seem to behave according to the bedtime house rules of his human parents. Once he finally gets into bed, he can't fall asleep no matter what he tries to do. Something's not right, and only his sisters-a steamroller and a crane-can make it better. This sweet bedtime story has the commercial feel of Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site and Little Excavator. A Christy Ottaviano Book

Reviews

"Imagine How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight with a bulldozer instead of dinosaurs and you've got the gist of this book. . . . What a fun and funny ride it is! A traditional not-ready-for bedtime story with heavy machinery, which takes it to another level. A solid purchase for most libraries."--School Library Journal

"Soothing. . . the illustrations are sweetly humorous. While construction-equipment bedtime books have become a genre in and of themselves, there's still room for one more good-hearted tale of antsy, agitated equipment."--Kirkus Reviews

"Little Bulldozer is disarming in his cuteness . . . this is a fun premise that many kids--and parents--will relate to."--Booklist
