In this sequel (The No. 1 Car Spotter), car-spotting champion Oluwalase Babatunde Benson, like his grandfather, is also number one at solving problems. And there are all kinds of problems to be solved in and around his African village, as described in four short and accessible chapters enhanced by energetic, motion-filled black-and-white illustrations. Readers will eagerly await more from this ingenious young hero.

Oluwalase Babatunde Benson, called No. 1, sits with his grandfather calling out the makes and models of passing cars. No. 1 faces challenges of life in a modern-day African village where the men have left to seek work in the city. Atinuke's story has humor while introducing serious topics. Energetic black-and-white illustrations, with frequent perspective changes, add movement.
