If I Built a Car, by Chris Van Dusen

(Paperback, 40 pages, first published in 2005)

With energetic rhyme and action-packed artwork to match, If I Built a Car is sure to fuel any young inventor with big plans and grand imaginations.

"If I built a car, it'd be totally new! Here are a few of the things that I'd do. . . ." Jack has designed the ultimate fantasy car. Inspired by zeppelins and trains, Cadillacs and old planes, with brilliant colors and lots of shiny chrome, this far-out vision is ready to cruise! There's a fireplace, a pool, and even a snack bar!

After a tour of the ritzy interior, Robert the Robot starts up the motor . . . and Jack and his dad set off on the wildest test drive ever!
