Bulldozer is shy when it comes to making new friends and nervous about starting school.

With the help of his own machinery—and a plate of freshly baked cookies—Bulldozer overcomes his fears just by being himself.
The beloved team of Elise Broach and Kelly Murphy are back with a compelling new series about an endearing bulldozer living in a human world. Each book contains five chapters, perfect for emerging readers learning how to read on their own.

Praise for Bulldozer's Big Rescue:Publishers Weekly, starred review
* "Bulldozer is a fully fleshed-out character; young readers will relate to his fears and conflicting desires to appease others and stand up for himself. This sweetly simple story…addresses sometimes-challenging issues surrounding meeting new people with a light and understanding touch, and expressive b&w line drawings with muted orange accents…bring Bulldozer and his world to life." -
* "Broach and Murphy rev up for a promising new series starring a lonely anthropomorphic construction vehicle…. Bulldozer’s monologue and the characters’ dialogue are spot-on, beautifully conveying the protagonist’s doubts and fears, irritations and resentments, hopes and wishes, and pride at stepping out of his comfort zone…. An enthralling tale about doing the heavy lifting of making friends."Kirkus Reviews, starred review
