(3) PS A young boy engages in imaginative play in this simple, satisfying truck book: "Down on my knees, / I make my hands / into a blade. / Scrape. Push. Plow./ I make a pile. / I am a...bulldozer." The smallish format, crayon-bright colors, and action words that invigorate the spare text provide a preschooler-perfect reading experience.
