Celebrate Dad and all his hard work with the newest addition to the much-loved Goodnight Goodnight Construction Site™ series. In this book, we meet the biggest of the machines, Big Loader and his crew of skid steers.

Big Loader has a giant job to do, and the skid steers rise early to get the job done. But before they can start, Big Loader has to make sure everyone is ready, with a full tank of gas and tires inflated. They have 500 tons of rocks and sand to move today.

Once the job is done and nightfall arrives, Big Loader gets all the skid steers settled in for the night, making sure all are tucked in tight. Finally, Big Loader can roll into bed and rest his bucket on the ground for the night.

The final message in the book is fitting for any dad…

So hardworking, every day.
So very loved, in every way.
A great machine, so kind and smart:
a giant—with a giant heart…
Big Loader always does his best. Great job, Dad. Now get some rest!

This new addition to the series is perfect for celebrating dads and the teamwork required to tackle big jobs, whether in the rock quarry or out in the yard.
