This award-winning picture book by former teacher, Ashley Wall, is sure to engage all construction loving children.
A fun-filled friendship story about our favorite things that go…CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES! Luke can’t believe his eyes when he looks from his window and sees a bulldozer outside…with his name on it! He feels like the luckiest boy in the world vrooming around with his best buddy, his dog Bobo. But the fun is only getting started when his friends ride in on a dump truck, steamroller, and excavator. Come join these kind-hearted friends for an amazing day of construction adventure!
I received a copy of this book through Netgalley. This is my honest review.
This was a fun, imaginative story about a kid and his friends waking up one day owning some serious construction equipment. They use all their big machines to build a new road to the ice cream shop that just opened up in town, because of course young children wanted an easy way to get to the ice cream shop. Because they all had different equipment, they had to work together as a team to accomplish their goal.
I really liked how this story illustrated working together to achieve things, and having small children operating heavy machinery just made it so fun. Although neither of my children was ever obsessed with construction equipment, one of my nephews was so I can definitely see the appeal of this book for kids. And I would definitely be okay reading it a few times at least. The illustrations were very bright and colorful.
Overall I give The Day I Had a Bulldozer 4.0638 out of 5 stars. - Katie
