Description
It's a new school year for Billy and his bulldozer friends. Nothing is more important to them than winning the Rocky Rumble, a hauling competition that decides who will be the class leaders. Billy has been moving rocks all summer long; he's ready to win! But his hopes are dashed when he's assigned to work with Crawley, a friendly bulldozer who's as slow as a cement truck. As the competition draws near, Billy must decide if he will keep Crawley as a partner or leave him behind to become the champion. As The Rocky Rumble explores themes of friendship, kindness, and empathy, it provides an enjoyable way for children to practice putting themselves in someone else's shoes.
Critic Reviews
"Kate Nilson's The Rocky Rumble is a quick and fun read. Although the characters here are construction vehicles, young readers are likely to find the story relatable. This book shows how not everyone can be good at a certain thing. This might cause frustration in an individual and the ones around him, especially if they are somehow affected by his or her lack of competence. However, just like Crawley, one may perform remarkably well under different circumstances. This story can encourage youngsters to acknowledge this possibility and value a person for who they are. Keegan Thornhill's illustrations are simple yet attractive, and they complement the text. The Rocky Rumble is recommended for children aged four to six." -Reviewed by Afifa Raisa for Readers' Favorite
