Last week we found a really fun book at the library that would be perfect for little boys.
If I Built a Car by Chris Van Dusen is a fun, really well-illustrated book about a boy with a great imagination regarding his family car.
The illustrations are a flash back to the 50's and the time of space exploration.
The car the boy imagines is full of perks, including a snack bar. What little boy wouldn't like the idea of french fries and cheese whiz built into a car?
And how about extendable wings so you can fly around the world? I'll take it!
This one is a real winner. I love looking at the pictures and thinking of how we all wish our cars were equipped with such great ideas!
So, for a great gift idea for a car-loving little boy, I'm thinking this book along with some Matchbox cars and a Car Caddy (like this one, or the one on this week's So You Think You're Crafty competition) would be PERFECT. Let the imaginations run wild!
Does this mean you are feeling better? ps I saw an adorable doll quilt with familiar looking scraps floating around this week! Looks good :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and didn't I warn you that quilting is highly addictive? Hee hee
It sounds like jsut what my grandson needs. I have one that reads and one that loves being read to.
