 A
Children's Book of the Month Club selection
The seeds of B
IS FOR BULLDOZER began in
1993 when my 18 month old son Adam said "big trucks" from
the back seat of the car. I never taught him those words.
The mysterious Y chromosome was at work. From that moment
on Adam was obsessed with construction. In his sleep he
would yell out "a bulldozer has no wheels!" We
spent countless mornings parked on the side of the road
identifying tractor scrapers, excavators and jackhammers.
Before this time I couldn’t tell a loader from a backhoe
and viewed road construction as a traffic nuisance rather
than a form of entertainment. I read my son every book published
on this subject and at that time I could not find an ABC
book on construction. I decided to write the book I couldn’t
find. |
