The Day I Had a Bulldozer by Ashley Wall will teach children a thing or two about construction vehicles. Luke and his friends had a lot of fun; he drove a bulldozer while his three friends, Noah, Mikey, and Emma, drove a dump truck, a steamroller, and an excavator, respectively. The illustrations complement the story perfectly. Congrats on BOTD!

Luke seems to be having so much fun with his friends and him being a child, makes his imaginations run wild. I look forward to reading this book.

I really enjoyed the professional illustrations in this book. The onomatopoeias were often in large, colorful letters, which added to the overall experience.

An interesting children's book "The Day I Had a Bulldozer" by Ashley Wall, which follows a boy named Luke, who was having breakfast when he discovered a bulldozer in his backyard.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

I love the way you wrote your review - simple, clear, straight to the point and positive.
I like it when I see children's books that are highly rated. Considering how they love to imagine they can do what adults can do, the concept of this book is a good one.

I agree with the official reviewer that the origin of the machines ought to have been hinted at, especially for a children's book, where the possibilities are wide. Thanks for the thorough review.

This book just brings to life the dream that many kids have. It brings the thrill of driving heavy machinery and demolishing imaginary buildings. I believe it would be a nice story for kids. Congrats on BOTD!!

I have noticed that good illustrations always help my child to focus on a book and actually read it. From your review, this may be very helpful and a good book to get for her.

I appreciate your balanced critique, noting the minor conflicts and lack of explanation about the machinery's origin. Your honesty adds depth to the review without overshadowing the overall positive experience. It's helpful for potential readers to be aware of these nuances.

I like the fact that this book teaches and arouses the interest of children in machinery within their neighborhood. This would be a good thing if it helps them in pursuing courses in future related to this lesson. Thanks for the review.
