Hop in! Neon-bright illustrations depict a delightfully single-minded little driver sure to have readers clamouring to come along for the ride. "Another day, another drive..." So declares Miles, preschooler and car enthusiast. He puts on his seat belt. Check. He winds the key. Check. Uh-oh, the horn is broken - but no time to fix it, because Miles is off to school - and the trip is adventurous indeed, with the neighbourhood dog to greet, puddles to navigate, even roads to cross (with Mum close at hand, of course). The energy and vibrant illustrations keep the narrative zipping along briskly and brightly.
