Distinctive illustrations take center stage in this sprightly import from Poland in which a child delights in the family’s little red convertible through whimsical journeys rooted in imaginary play. The size of the book (short and wide) accentuates the movement of the little red car from left to right across the page, except when mechanical work is being done. The details about the car are childlike (its color, how fast it can go, what happens when it rains, etc.), adding to the book’s appeal. In the end, it’s revealed that the child has been playing in a makeshift car inside the house all along in this deceptively simple, aesthetically appealing book sure to be a crowd pleaser with young car enthusiasts. (Ages 2–4)
