Illustrated by
Jan Bajtlik.
In this playful, visually appealing tale, a child and father go exploring in a car "as red as a fire engine." When not zooming through the landscape, they put on tires, wash the car, pull a trailer, observe a mechanic fixing the car, and more. Vivid colors pop off uncluttered spreads with generous white space. The imaginative twist ending comes on the final endpapers of this well-designed book.
