K-3Silly Millies series.
Illustrated by
Mike Gordon.
A young boy encourages construction vehicles to do their work by shouting at each one in turn: "What are you waiting for?" Readers can guess what the truck will do; a turn of the page reveals the truck in its entirety and the boy commanding: "Dump it!" "Drill away!" "Mix it!" Comical, sketchy illustrations help tell this brief story about the building of a playground.
