All about it:
A Cozy Construction Story for Bedtime featuring a Bulldozer and for fans of Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site and Where Do Diggers Sleep at Night?
After a long day of clearing dirt, rocks, and trees, a bulldozer is tired and ready for bed. He lifts up his blade, his spotlights flash on, he rolls through the gate, and lets out a yawn. He heads to the Wiggle and Shake for a bath, then to the Sip and Slurp for some supper, then chooses a bedtime story . . . and soon the bulldozer will be dreaming sweet dreams of finishing his important work!
Opening lines:
The clearing is done.
The sun disappears.
A bulldozer stops.
He shifts down his gears.
Favorite page spread:
I think I’ll include TWO!
What will kids (and adults) take away after they’ve read it:
Kids will love how bulldozer is just like them in his bedtime routine. From his sleepy yawns, to his bathing, to filling his oil pan (his tummy!)with a nighttime snack, and then snuggling in for a bedtime story, they will see that even bulldozers need a little shut eye.
Adults will love the gentle, rhythmic text and vivid illustrations as they snuggle with their little ones to enjoy this special bedtime story.
