by Michael Teitelbaum, Klavins / Walker (Illustrations)

Young truck fans can now sit in the driver's seat as they imagine what it would be like behind the wheel of a massive TONKA bulldozer in this 8 x 8 storybook!

Lindsay loves to play with her toy bulldozer. But when she imagines herself as the driver of a mighty bulldozer, her imagination takes her farther than her bedroom. Ride along as young Lindsay pretends she is behind the wheel of a massive bulldozer as she helps out at a construction site. Full of fun and imagination, this shaped 8 x 8 storybook also shows children the many jobs a bulldozer can do--like leveling off the ground for building and removing soil.

[Lisa · Rating 2 out of 5]

The illustrations are more like computer graphics and not as realistic as I would have liked. Its also pretty wordy for my 4 year old, the intended audience in my case.
