This Old Van

(4) PS Illustrated by Carolyn Conahan. "This old van, she passed ONE, / shining in the rising sun." Two hippie grandparents drive past one train, two bulldozers, and so on, until they reach their grandson's derby race. Once readers figure out what to count (it's not initially obvious), the "This Old Man"–set verses offer a groovy ride, with help from the mellow, yellow-dominant art.
