Construction vehicle fans young and old will delight in this imaginative book of how a bulldozer prepares for bed. Sharon Chriscoe's irresistibly clever and gentle rhyming verse and John Joven's charming illustrations are sure to soothe even the busiest of kids at bedtime.

There once was a very dedicated little, gray bulldozer by the name of Buddy. He lived on a ranch with his owners Andy and Eileen. Andy and Eileen loved him dearly. Buddy did a lot of chores around the ranch like making new roads and clearing the way for farm equipment. He always wanted to be the best bulldozer he could be! But not everyone saw it like that. Some of the newer, shinier, bigger bulldozers would make fun of him. They'd say "Look at Buddy, he's too small!" However, Buddy knew there was no such thing as being too small. Plenty of small things are useful. Others would say "Look at Buddy, he's so old!" But Buddy knew that with age, people become wiser and Buddy the bulldozer was as wise as they come. He knew that being negative wouldn't do anything but make himself and others sad so he remained happy, and held his chin up high. One day Buddy the bulldozer breaks down and nobody knows how to fix him. All the other ranchers are telling Andy and Eileen to scrap buddy and buy a newer, more modern, bigger bulldozer. The question is...can Buddy get fixed in time to help his owners do some very important work on the ranch so the farm animals will be saved, or will Buddy be replaced?
