Bulldozer Dreams
by Sharon Chriscoe (Author) John Joven (Illustrator)
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! Construction vehicle fans young and old will delight in this imaginative book of how a bulldozer prepares for bed.
Sharon Chriscoe's irresistibly clever and gentle rhyming verse and John Joven's charming illustrations are sure to soothe even the busiest of kids at bedtime.

PreS-Gr 1--In the tradition of Sherri Duskey Rinker's Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site and Brianna Kaplan Sayres's Where Do Diggers Sleep at Night?, a bulldozer settles down after a full day of hard work. His vivid dream of a playground is the only time that humans appear in the brightly colored digital illustrations. In rhyming text (which is sometimes strained), he goes through familiar bedtime rituals such as a bath and a story. "He lifts up his blade./His spotlights flash on./He rolls through the gate and/lets out a yawn." Some expressions like "he exits the bay" and "punches his clutch" might teach new vocabulary. Vehicle fans will enjoy seeing a bulldozer participate in the same activities they do at bedtime, but this book doesn't bring anything new to the genre. VERDICT An acceptable read-aloud for young vehicle enthusiasts who can't get enough of construction play before shifting gears for bedtime.--Amelia Jenkins, Juneau Public Library, AK
