Bulldozer Helps Out Book Review

In Bulldozer Helps Out by Candance Fleming, Bulldozer would give anything to help out on the construction site.  Cement Mixer was stirring; Crane Truck was lifting.  Even Digger Truck was scooping.  What was Bulldozer doing?  Watching.

He asked his fellow trucks what he could do to be part of the project.  Dump Truck told him he was too little to help.  The other trucks agreed that construction work is only for rough and tough trucks.

Feeling sorry for Bulldozer, Crane gives him a special task.  He must clear away a pile of rubble and flatten out a new construction site.  Will Bulldozer be able to prove that he has what it takes to get the job done?

I think this is a wonderful story that is full of action and heart.  Children will definitely be able to relate to Bulldozer and his passion for helping others.

Additionally, Eric Rohmann's illustrations are outstanding.  Each character is large and vibrant and will certainly capture the reader's attention.  I also love the subtle details that provide clues as to what will happen next in the story.

This is a fantastic read for children ages 4-7.
