The hero of this high-octane tale sports a toothy grin, a sassy attitude, and a "specialized, maximized, giant-sized loader bucket." Readers will easily forgive Backhoe Loader's boastful ways as they accompany him on rounds of hauling items like "cat-clawed couches" and mucking about in the mud. When he uproots a tree stump, he makes guttural sound effects children will love to echo: "Ugh! Arrrrrrrgh! Tim-berrrrrrrrr! So long, Stumpster!" From the pair that created I Stink!, this is another raucously fun heavy-equipment story brought to life with vibrant illustrations. (Ages 4 to 6)
