Push! Dig! Scoop!: A Construction Counting Rhyme

(3) PS Illustrated by Daniel Kirk. "Over by the dirt pile in the sizzling summer sun / works a mama bulldozer with her little dozer ONE."

Catchy rhymes, cheerful-looking trucks with individualizing features, onomatopoeia ("moosh moosh"), and words that stutter ("s-s-swoop s-s-swup")--what preschooler would turn away?
