I'm a Bulldozer (Little Golden Book)

He is very much into construction vehicles and this is age appropriate for him at 3 1/2

I bought this book for my six-year-old son for two very good reasons:1. We have the misfortune of living at the top of the street where a one-year road construction project has been going on for over three years; and2. Bob Staake's illustrations.For over half of my little boy's life, we been driving past road construction vehicles, sometimes standard yellow, sometimes shockingly pink -- most of them just parked along the side of the road -- just to get from our stretch of road to another. He has learned the names of all of them, especially the bulldozer. Dennis Shealy did include some uses of the bulldozer that didn't include construction, so that made the book especially interesting.A few months after the construction began, my son discovered books illustrated or written and illustrated by Bob Staake. Staake quickly became my son's favorite illustrator. After almost three years, my son is a connoisseur of Staake's work and would know it anywhere. And he always says it's "beautiful". And my son is right.

Like all Golden Books the text is simple and clear, with friendly illustrations. The illustrations in I'm a Bulldozer are definitely geared towards little boys and the book, is full of facts about what bulldozers do, presented in a clear and interesting format. My three year old loves this book. While the tone of the bulldozer in the very beginning of the book isn't one I care for it also isn't a tone that there is truly anything wrong with, and is very relatable to little boys, and it is only that first page. Just a heads up to other moms who might be a bit put off by that as well. All in all wonderful addition to a little boys library.

Love, Love, Love this book!!! We read it with a lot of character making it come alive. I've purchased this book several times and this last purchase I read the book to my great nephew's mom to show her how we enjoy it with making the most of the great dialog; 'Pushy? You betcha I'm pushy!' ('cause he's a bulldozer!!). Highly recommend this fun book that I have read over 100 times by now!!

I am a bulldozer is a inspirational tale filled with colorful delight. My child now has big dreams of being a bulldozer when he grows up.

My 3 year old like the book, but as the person who primarily does the actual reading, I'm not a fan. It's just not an enjoyable book for me to read. I dread when this book is picked. I know I'm not the target audience, but there are many books my child and I can both enjoy. Four stars because he likes it, but I'm knocking one off because I don't.

My grandson loves this book. He always wants me to read it to him. Sturdy and nice

Bought this for my GF's 4-year old nephew. He LOVES tractors, trucks, etc. Not only is this book cute and clever but you'll enjoy reading it to the child in your life.
