Bulldozer’s Christmas Dig

A very lit­tle bull­doz­er digs up a most unex­pect­ed Christ­mas gift for his friends at the con­struc­tion site in this hol­ly jol­ly third book in the Bull­doz­er series from award-win­ning author Can­dace Flem­ing and Calde­cott Medal­ist Eric Rohmann.

It’s Christ­mas Eve, and Dump Truck is car­ry­ing … car­ry­ing … car­ry­ing gar­land.
Dig­ger Truck is string­ing … string­ing … string­ing lights.
Crane Truck is lift­ing … lift­ing … lift­ing wreaths.
And Bull­doz­er is wor­ry­ing … wor­ry­ing … worrying.

He doesn’t have any presents for his friends — not one! And time is run­ning out. Does he need a Christ­mas mir­a­cle, or just a lit­tle inge­nu­ity, and some dig­ging, dig­ging, digging?

Reviews

“The lit­tle yel­low Bull­doz­er with his entourage of ani­mal friends is a lik­able char­ac­ter whose plight chil­dren will relate to and whose non­com­mer­cial solu­tion is a mod­el for cre­ative young­sters to take as inspi­ra­tion. Best for wrap­ping a mes­sage of giv­ing with­in a truck-lov­ing pack­age full of sound effects. Extreme­ly sim­ple and rather sweet.” (Kirkus Reviews)
