Description

A delightful picture book about a family of kids who move to a farm and find an old car that takes them on magical adventures of the imagination. We found the old car in the shed the very first day we moved to the farm. Dad put it under the peppercorn tree. 'I'll take this old clunker down to the scrapyard one day,' he said. 'But you kids might as well play in it for the time being.' We couldn't wait to find out where that car would take us. A wonderful story about three children, Joey, Ellie, and Luke, who use their imagination to travel to the Base Camp of Mount Everest, Africa for a safari, Buckingham Palace to meet the Queen, and even to the moon. The detailed illustrations bring their fantastical adventures to life.
