The vivid illustrations and creative use of onomatopoeias make "The Day I Had a Bulldozer" an engaging read for children, fostering their imagination as they follow Luke and his friends' delightful adventures with construction equipment. Nice review.

This story will be interesting. Who could have gifted a group of friends those machines? The author should kindly inform us. Congratulations on BOTD. Beautiful review.

Great review. The book was very well done. I very much enjoyed the inclusiveness of females. Very well written just wondered how the machinery appeared.

On the point review. However, almost entire storyline was revealed which reduces the excitement to actually read the book.

Ashley Wall's book "The Day I Had a Bulldozer" is aimed towards children. Children's books should emphasize key principles to instill in children at a young age, and this book seems to do both. I enjoy brightly colored illustrations in children's books. For a toddler to discover big mechanical toys in their backyard would be absolutely fantastic. Outstanding review. I never realized a children's book could teach us this much. Congratulations on BOTD, author.

I agree that this book is not for independent reading by child and is meant to be integrated. It's good for developing cooperation and imagination in kids. Sounds like a useful children's gift.

This is the ideal book for my little man! At three years old, he adores large machinery. The artwork is charming and vivid, which will definitely help with retaining his focus, and the pages are short enough to accommodate his short attention span. This book would definitely become my new favorite if I could have a hard copy! In addition, I truly like how the book has a lovely subject of problem-solving and accepting mistakes.

The book brings up good childhood memories. The moment I saw the cover, Bob the Builder came to mind. It would be good to build up a child's creativity. Congratulations to the author on making it to the Book Of The Day!

I don't know what they'll do with their machines but I'm guessing that it will be chaotic. I only wonder where they got these machines from. I am looking forward to finding out. Congratulations to the author on winning book of the day.

As I have mentioned before, I would tinker, skim, or even read childrens' books before handing it over to the rightful and intended owner. This should be fun because it touches on a child's desire to know more and handle complicated equipment of adults. As an adult, I would enjoy it too. First, because of my habit and inner desire to see what is in the book. Second my habit and inner desire of what is in the book for a child. And third, to see the reaction of the child. And yes, I could imagine myself helping them to look, read and understand what is the story. The review says there is no conflict in the story. I do not think the rightful and intended owner of the book would care. Neither do I.

There so many questions that kids will be curious to find out such as how the bulldozer showed up and who might have brought it and placed it in the backyard. These questions will therefore arouse children's interest to read more and find out.

"After reading your review, 'The Day I Had a Bulldozer' by Ashley Wall sounds like an absolute delight for young readers! The discovery of heavy machinery and the adventures that follow, coupled with professional illustrations and vibrant onomatopoeias, create a childlike and fun atmosphere. While minor conflicts were noted, the lack of a detailed explanation about the sudden appearance of the machines didn't deter from the overall enjoyment. With a solid 5 out of 5 stars, this book promises to captivate young imaginations. A wonderful recommendation for children who dream of construction adventures! 🚜🌟
