Bulldozer Goes to School

Bulldozer is nervous about his new school year and worried he won’t fit in. His friend Millie tries to reassure him, but Bulldozer isn’t convinced…especially when he gets to his classroom and things start going wrong. But just when he’s sure his day couldn’t get worse, something amazing happens! The first day of school proves to be special for everyone, all because of Bulldozer.

Perfect for kids learning how to read on their own, the second book in this endearing series follows Bulldozer through the challenges and rewards of going to school.

★ “This deceptively simple story successfully addresses the fears and worries of young children and offers positive solutions that will encourage the resilience needed to overcome them. The five chapters use simple vocabulary that makes the story accessible to young readers. A collection of creative word play activities in the back helps students build and enhance their reading skills. . . simple black-and-white line drawings shaded in orange, y­ellow, and gray that beautifully captured the heart of the story. VERDICT Sure to be a hit with vehicle lovers, this engaging title for early chapter book readers cleverly uses a bulldozer child protagonist to address social fears about new situations and friendships. Highly ­recommended.” – School Library Journal, starred review
