Wreck the Halls Written by Melinda Rathjen and Illustrated by Gareth Williams Book Review

 

Wreck the Halls is a Christmas book about how wreakers are wonderful at helping us to get ready for the Christmas season. They can assist in string the lights and adding the ornaments to the trees Cranes help put the star on top of the giant Christmas trees. Trains like to make a whistle noise. But wreckers can help pull Santa cookies and milk if needed. They are excellent in pulling the massive Christmas gifts. 

 

 

I would recommend this children’s book to boys aged 1-6 and some girls may even enjoy reading about how special wreckers are. I loved the uniqueness of wreckers and how they can help get Christmas ready. This was a cool approach in keeping little boys engaged in a Christmas story. I liked how it also enclosed stories about police cars, race cars, boats, buses and much more and how they each help make Christmas happen. But wreckers make the big difference. This one reminded a little of Cars and Larry the Cable Guy.

Dozers Don’t Doze Written by Melinda Rathjen and Illustrated by Gareth Williams Book Review

Dozers Don’t Doze is a children’s book about bulldozers and how they are unliked any other kind of equipment vehicle. They don’t sleep and they just keep going on. Tractors take breaks when they are finished plowing their rows. Race cares make pit stops along the way when they are on the race track but dozers work harder and don’t need naps. Tow trucks get tired and they begin to just drag along. Backhoes don’t because they are stronger because they have to dig in the dirt. There are many more examples included in this book to engage our children. 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome children’s book especially to any little boys they would greatly enjoy reading the story about dozers and how they are strong diggers, hard workers, and they just keep going through whatever. I love the illustrations of all the different vehicles and how they showed many different types that will keep the attention of little boys. Girls could always read this book if they have an interest in dozers and cars. The book was very colorful and a very easy read. I liked how the book was also in a hard cardboard material and I think these books are great for babies and younger kids since we know they love to try and chew them.
