Extremely Cute Animals Operating Heavy Machinery

David Gordon (Author) David Gordon (Illustrator)

Description

Just because you're extremely cute, doesn't mean you can't operate a bulldozer! From author-illustrator David Gordon comes a fun, funny, and whimsical take on believing in yourself and telling bullies who's boss!

Karen and the other extremely cute animals just want to build sand castles. But the terribly mean bullies Skyler, Mike, and Trent keep knocking them down! So Karen and her friends get another idea. They'll build something the bullies can't knock down, something even bigger and better than a sand castle...

It's a good thing being excessively cute doesn't prevent you from operating heavy machinery!
