Reach for this book when your child is expressing first day jitters or feels intimidated by the big world of elementary school. Bulldozer Goes to School follows a heavy duty machine who, despite his strength and size, feels incredibly small and nervous about his first day in a new classroom. Through Bulldozer's journey, the story validates the physical and emotional sensations of anxiety while showing how familiar routines can lead to new friendships. This chapter book is perfectly paced for children aged 5 to 7 who are transitioning from picture books to longer stories. It uses the metaphor of construction and power to help children find their own inner strength. Parents will appreciate how it frames school as a place where even the 'toughest' characters can be vulnerable and eventually succeed.
