(3) K-3 Illustrated by Joe Cepeda. Before bedtime, Dad takes Carmela for a ride in the car. He asks her repeatedly if she's "ready for sleep," but she always answers, "Not yet, Daddy. Keep driving." And drive he does--even through swamps, "wurgle lurgle," and over the ocean, "splash dash wave CRASH." Like the text, Cepeda's paintings, with their sweeping curves and jaunty yellow car, are full of vitality.
