Publisher Description
Little Dozer has had a busy day of revving and rumbling, and now it's time to get ready for bed in this sweet, rhyming bedtime book for kids who love construction vehicles. Perfect for children ages 3 to 7!
When day speeds away
and the sun's going down,
it's bedtime, it's bedtime
in Rumbletruck Town.
After a long day of rugged play, it's time for Little Dozer to get ready for bed. He has a bath to wash away the mud and snuggles into bed to start counting jeep after jeep... but Dozer needs his bedtime song, and Mama isn't home to sing it! Luckily, Papa knows most of the words...and as soon as Dozer drifts off to Dreamland, Mama is home to kiss him goodnight.
Featuring adorable art, this tender bedtime story is perfect for fans of Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site and Where Do Diggers Sleep at Night?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A little digger struggles with bedtime in Mama's absence until a construction-oriented song from Papa eases the way in this likable rhyming sleep aid for truck-lovers. After a big day "of revving and rumbling/ and rough-tumble play," mud-splattered Dozer heads in, but bedtime arrives before Mama gets home: "He snuggles his teddy,/ counts jeep after jeep,/ but poor little Dozer,/ still can't fall asleep." Luckily, Papa readily jumps in with a lilting lullaby about "Rumbletruck Town," where various vehicles "all settle their motors,/ and peacefully snooze." When final stanzas elude Papa, Dozer takes part, finding the calm necessary to shut off his engine before Mama's return finds him tucked in tight. Hilsaca's round-edged digital artwork features light-toned colors and long shadows, supplying an appropriately soothing vibe for this relaxing read. Ages 3–7.
