Wonderful father and son story. Like how the pictures tell a "different" story than the words.
I loved this funny and sweet picture book about a boy "driving" himself to bed every night in his "car" (i.e., his dad's shoulders). Fucile's illustrations are expressive and nuanced, just like his animations for Disney Pixar. They really make the story.
This book gets better every time I read it. Kids from 5 to 55 can really relate to the story.
The story of Mitchell and his dad is pretty cute, but I don't know how well it would engage young readers. I would recommend this for a one on one read aloud wherein you can give a lot of explanations about the process of driving.
Cute story with a strategy for adults! Mitchell doesn't like to go to bed, so his dad creates a fun way to go to bed! No more issues! (Well, for the most part!) I really like these Mitchell books, as they show a great father/child relationship, and they have great strategies too!
Mitchell doesn’t like to go to bed until his dad lets him start driving. Mitchell drives his car (his dad) to bed, sitting in the driver’s seat (his dad’s shoulders), cleaning off the windshield (his dad’s glasses), and beeping the horn (his dad’s nose).
Funny cartoon pictures of a child having a delightful time with his dad.
“They had driven a long way when Mitchell noticed that the gas tank was on Empty.
‘You need gas,’ said Mitchell.
Mitchell and his car took three right turns, then a left, and beeped the horn six times.
Mitchell turned on his headlights and pulled up to the cookie jar.
‘This is the gas station,’ he said.”
