Description

Monster loves his construction vehicles. They help him dig deep trenches, push dirt and rocks, and carry all kinds of materials around his construction site. But Monster does not like sharing his trucks! No one can touch his bulldozer, fork lift, or crane. So what happens when the reader does exactly what Monster has said NOT to do Monster is in for a wild and hilarious ride, getting scooped and raised and dumped all over the place. Thankfully, the end result -- after pushing levers, buttons, and gears galore -- is a surprise that's good fun for everyone (especially Monster).

Reviews

"One can imagine the glee with which kids will defy Monster's howls of protest to pull a painted lever, push an arrestingly red button, tip the book, and even sneeze in order to disturb their blue, furry victim." --Kirkus Reviews
