(2) PS Illustrated by Eric Rohmann. On his "big day," Bulldozer can't wait to invite his friends to his party: "Guess what today is!" The other construction vehicles appear too preoccupied with work to guess. "No friends. No party," sniffs Bulldozer. Of course, there is a party; everyone's secretly been constructing a giant birthday cake. Engaging text will keep story-hour audiences invested; block-print illustrations feature trucks with loads of personality.
