(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jill Barton. A family wants to go to the lake on a hot day, but their old car keeps breaking down. They repair the car with a variety of beach items--a ball, a surfboard, and a three-speed paddleboat. Rhyming text conveys the boisterous, bouncy movements of the rattletrap car. The warm, lively illustrations set the story in a timeless, rural past.
Reviewer: Jim St. Claire
