Take a rollicking ride in This Old Van, a joyful take on the classic children's counting song. As the colourfully painted vintage vehicle, driven by a really cool pair of grandparents, rolls down the highway, it passes one train, two bulldozers, three tractors, right up to ten muddy jeeps. And along the way, luggage flies off, horns honk, and the hurrying van zigs and zags - till it arrives at its destination Just in Time! You won't be able to resist singing every fun verse out loud.

"Conahan's soft pastel palette and comically inventive, Peter Max-inspired illustrations--from the grinning, wide-eyed bulldozers to the hard-hat-wearing mountain goats--are reminiscent of the Saturday-morning-cartoons of the 1960s. . . . This intergenerational romp filled with sight gags and puns will keep readers humming as they pore over each detail-packed page." --Kirkus Reviews
