Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Starred Review. PreSchool-Grade 2–With a style familiar to fans of Im Mighty! (2003) and I Stink! (2002, both HarperCollins), McMullan introduces a sassy backhoe loader who relishes his dirty job. He brags about his equipment and then heads to work, where he cleans up an abandoned lot. Cleaning up this mess? Easy as pie. Make that a MUD pie. Counting down from 10 to 1, the backhoe removes the alliterative trash: 4 cat-clawed couches, 3 scuffed-up signs, 2 tossed-out toilet seats, 1 wonky washing machine. Then, he pulls out a tree stump, takes a mud bath, and back-drags his bucket over the dirt. Throughout the story, the machine becomes progressively dirtier, with a repeating motif of mud. The text flies about the pages, changing size, shape, and orientation. With its saucy tone and dynamic color cartoon illustrations, this picture book exudes energy.–Suzanne Myers Harold, Multnomah County Library System, Portland, OR

From Booklist

*Starred Review* The irresistible, growling garbage-truck star of the McMullens' I Stink! (2002) collected legions of small fans. This follow-up's narrator, a swaggering, dirt-loving backhoe loader, is just as likable. The books' formats are similar. Stink weaves an alphabet game into the text; here, there is a counting exercise as the backhoe loader lists the piles of clutter it moves, from "10 torn-up truck tires" to "7 loused-up lawn chairs," while clearing a vacant lot. As in the previous title, the high-octane, boasting voice and energetic, bold-lined illustrations transform the machine into a loud-mouthed, fully anthropomorphized character that will instantly captivate kids. The short, choppy phrases, filled with sound, are just right for jolly, raucous read-alouds: "Ugh! Arrrrrrrgh! Mmmmmmmmmph! Tim-berrrrrrrr!" Pint-size gear-heads will love the spreads showing the backhoe loader using all of his features, from front claw to back wheels, and most kids will find plenty of vicarious fun in the grinning, powerful monster machine that creates and conquers chaos and loves a good mud bath.

Loved it.
My son loves the stinky and dirty show. And after reading some of these reviews I was wary of getting this book but I put it on his amazon list anyways. He received it as a gift from his grandpa. Once we read it he loved it because he loves dirty. The drawings are different from the show but it’s ok. I actually enjoyed the drawings. They were very cute. I think the way dirty talks and acts is pretty similar to how he is in the show.

If you know a little boy between 3-6 years old, chances are he is obsessed with this show. My son is definitely in this age range and he can't get enough of those pals! For Christmas, he was overjoyed to unwrap the books that started it all.

We got him "I Stink" as well. Like that one, "I'm Dirty" is loosely educational and has great onomatopoeia, humor, and adorable artwork that fits the lighthearted mood and (most importantly) resembles the characters in the show. He's thrilled, these have been his bedtime books of choice since he unwrapped them.

This series of books is a favorite of my grandson, who loves trucks. I read this title many times during a visit, and he also was very interested in seeking out others from the series at his next library visit. The anthropomorphized vehicles are bold and confident and proud of what they do! I purchased this to have in my own library for visits from grandchildren.

The McMullans' series is a hilarious look at the essence of each vehicle depicted. I give them as gifts to 3-5 year old boys, but girls think they're funny, too. My favorites are I'm Dirty! and I Stink!

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2007

We already have "I'm Mighty" and "I Stink", so we HAD to have the 3rd installment. The illustrations are on par with the other 2 books, and if you're good at sound effects this book has loads of them. Both my boys enjoyed the book, but I didn't find it as entertaining as either of it's predecessors. The tug boat and the garbage truck lived WAY more exciting lives and visited many more places. The garbage truck had so many interesting things in his hopper, this poor Backhoe Loader just can't compete! (His most exciting find is "2 tossed-out toilet seats".) The story is cute, the sound effects are fun but it doesn't get the belly-laughs the other 2 stories do.

5.0 out of 5 stars my son likes this book
Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2012

In this book, backhoe loader is taken to work site by a flatbed truck. Loader has to clean up a lot with lots of junk on it. There is countdown (10 to 1) of broken things that she is cleaning up. Finally, she pulls out the stump of the tree from the ground. The lot is clean, but digger is dirty. Then she takes a mud bath and flat bed drives her home. One has to read this story couple times to start liking it... but once one gets into reading with a silly voice, this is a fun book. My son wanted to read this book three times the first day he got it. We also like I am Mighty! and I Stink! Now he also wants to have I am Fast! the book which we have read in local bookstore. Again (as in I am Mighty!) the illustration /text combination is powerful. I ordered this book used and received a copy in pretty good condition.
