Pig mechanic Gus spends the day solving various animal friends' car troubles: e.g., when rhino Rico complains that he's "overflowing" on his motor scooter's tiny seat, Gus rigs it with an armchair. The rhymes are toe-tappers, and readers will delight in determining which item from Gus's hodgepodge junk pile (a painstakingly rendered heap by Timmers) will do the job.
