Description

At school, Oliver loves to play trucks with his best friend, Annie. They use their favorite bulldozer to dig tunnels, carve moats around the castle, and build bridges-just like a real construction crew. This action-packed story is perfect for children who love imaginative adventures-as they get to sit right in the driver's seat-and fans of Mighty, Mighty Construction Site. Christy Ottaviano Books

Reviews

The book deftly mirrors such social constructs as sharing, friendship, and respectful play for those readers who may still find trucks more interesting than other kids. Gender equality takes the spotlight . . . Bright, colorful paints and clear-cut images add to the book's already considerable appeal. Friendship and bulldozers. What could be sweeter--Kirkus Reviews

A childlike snapshot of a play-filled day at preschool. When it's finally time to say goodbye, the slice-of-life tale concludes with a celebration of friendship, making for a mild read that embodies school goings-on and communal play.--Publishers Weekly
