PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A noisy construction site may be an unorthodox setting for a bedtime story, but newcomer Rinker and Lichtenheld (Shark vs. Train) tie together the dual themes neatly. Though more subdued than the trucks that drive Kate and Jim McMullan s I Stink! and I m Dirty!, these anthropomorphized vehicles have a similar graphic feel and cheerful demeanor. After five machines are first pictured hard at work, they appear against a blazing sky: The sun has set, the work is done;/ It s time for trucks to end their fun./ So one by one they ll go to bed/ To yawn and rest their sleepy heads,/ Then wake up to another day/ Of rough-and-tough construction play! Each truck performs one final task before settling down to sleep, with gentle encouragement: Shh... goodnight, Bulldozer, goodnight. Rinker s rhythmic verse reinforces the vehicles love of their work (Dump Truck moves the dirt/ from place to place,/ Then dumps it with a happy face ) and, like Lichtenheld s art, deftly balances the story s boisterous and drowsy elements. Truck lovers will happily nod off to the strains of this read-aloud. Ages 4 8.
