I got this book for my son who is in love with construction vehicles thinking it would be another way to teach the alphabet. The illustrations are terrific - lots of things to see, name and tell the color of. The story, while it rhymes, uses lots of words, not just the same simple ones over and over. (I didn't know it rhymed until I read it on my own without stopping to comment on every little thing on the page!) My son has since incorporated some of the "big" words from this book into his every day lexicon.
B Is for Bulldozer is not your average ABC book. Loaded with fun and avoiding the standard format, children recognize the alphabet that is intertwined in the lines, rather than starting them--without even knowing that they are in the process of learning. All while learning the names of big trucks and construction terms.Children watch as construction begins at the site. But what is being built? Anticipation builds for our little readers who start asking by page six, "What are they building, Mommy?" And they actually get to find out. By the second read, they know just when to join in and holler, "Z-O-O-M!!!!!!!"Read-aloud cadence is not intuitive, but quickly learned as my son will testify. Girls like it, but before you sit down with your young big-truck-loving boy, be prepared for, "Again!" And one "again" won't be enough.Armchair Interviews says: A delightful ABC book that also tells a story.
My 21-Month old son LOVES this book... he is fascinated by construction trucks and such and gets so very excited when we read it. It is very bright and colorful and gets his attention each and everytime. He loves pointing out everything and is always his first choice to read at bedtime! If your little one is as truck crazy as mine is, s/he'll love it!
This is a really fun book with great colorful illustrations. I like how the alphabet of construction "things" leads up to construction of an amusement park. I bought this for my friend's kid who loved it so much, the book had to be "lost" for a while.
My 3 year old son loves this book, he is a typical toddler boy, obsessed with construction and this one is really fun as it talks about construction but also a theme around an amusement park. He loves to say zoooooom! at the end!
This book is a great choice for toddlers and early readers. My daughters and my son all enjoy this book. I only wish the cover was a little more durable, as it is only laminated card stock and isn't holding up to use as well as other better bound books we own. Also, the rhythm of the poetry is not exactly spot-on. But these are minor points of criticism for a book that is otherwise perfectly suitable for what is was intended to be.
Let me preface this review with stating that I am a teacher and am very particular about children's literature.My 2 1/2 year old son thoroughly enjoyed this book. He is obsessed with construction equipment and it certainly got his attention. His FAVORITE book on construction equipment is, "Where do Diggers Sleep at Night".As an alphabet book it is not as great as it could have been. Each item named as bearing that letter for the page is not prominently featured on the page. The child's eye is not going to go immediately to it. A child may get mixed up trying to find the item and then forget what letter and phonetic connection they are trying to make.Bottom line: If you are looking for a picture book on construction equipment then get this book! It is engaging and enjoyable for toddlers. If you are looking for a book to help your child learn their alphabet and learn beginning phonics then skip this. I would recommend, "The Alphabet Book".
This is called "B is for Bulldozer" because "A is for Asphalt" and that just wouldn't fly.The poetry and chosen words of the alphabet stretch credibility, and will never flow, but it's not a terrible book. Just disappointing that it cannot be used to learn the alphabet, which is how it is being advertised.
