Fans of cars, trains, and construction vehicles will love this bedtime board book about a little bulldozer who won’t go to sleep.
 
All kinds of vehicles take breaks, naps, and snoozes—but not bulldozers! Dozers don’t need to go to bed, at least that’s what the bulldozer who narrates this humorous book thinks. The self-assured dozer brags that it doesn’t need sleep, but gets sleepier and sleepier as it lists all the other vehicles that do need rest: race cars make pit stops, trains stop in their tracks, tractors hit the hay, and more.
 
The conclusion to Dozers Don’t Doze, in which the dozer ultimately dozes, will entertain little ones and please parents; the illustrations of sleepy machines may even lull children to sleep despite their own efforts to resist dozing.

Genre:

  • Children's Books
  • Juvenile Fiction
  • Transportation
  • Cars & Trucks

Melinda Lee Rathjen grew up in southern Illinois, reading past her bedtime whenever she could get away with it. As an editor at WorthyKids, she still spends a lot of time reading, though stealth and flashlights are rarely necessary. She lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with two very opinionated cats.

Gareth Williams was born in Hillingdon, West London, but ventured (when he was two) to the green valleys of South Wales. At an early age he loved to draw, and he quickly realized that his dream of becoming the first Welsh astronaut would be sidelined by his creative abilities and talents (but he still secretly wishes he could have rocketed into space). Gareth studied Illustration at Swansea Metropolitan and went on to work with leading stationery and greeting card companies. His work has a strong illustrative influence, with lots of textures and layers to create a hand-drawn style. Gareth lives in Romford, Essex, United Kingdom.
