Everyone is busy on the construction site, but while Cement Mixer stirs and Crane Truck lifts and Digger Truck scoops, little Bulldozer’s only job is “watching … watching … watching.” Yearning to help, he’s given a job clearing away a small pile of junk. He charges off ready to work … and then does almost nothing! When the big trucks check on him later, Bulldozer isn’t interested in hearing what they have to say. “Shhh!” he admonishes. What’s gotten into this kid? It turns out Bulldozer has found a different job to do in this charming companion to Bulldozer’s Big Day. The story features the same gathering of rumbling, grumbling, lovable construction site characters and their eager young companion, the same lively language, and the same bold, personality- filled illustrations, along with the addition of a soft, sweetly foreshadowed surprise (“His motor hummed, soft as a lullaby.”). (Ages 2-5)

A very little bulldozer learns that taking care of kittens is a very big job in this darling follow-up to Bulldozer’s Big Day from award-winning author Candace Fleming and Caldecott Medalist Eric Rohmann.

The construction site bustled.
Cement Truck was stirring…stirring…stirring.
Digger Truck was scooping…scooping…scooping.
Crane Truck was lifting…lifting…lifting.
And Bulldozer was—watching…watching…watching.

Little Bulldozer wants to help, but all the bigger trucks say he is too small. So when Crane Truck says he can clear a bit of debris out of the way, Little Bulldozer is eager for the job. He can do it, yes he can. What he doesn’t expect is to find a family of newborn kittens living in the pile of debris! Can he take care of babies? Now that’s a tough job. A job that happens to be just the right size for Little Bulldozer.
