Best, Cari. If I Could Drive, Mama. Illustrated by Simone Shin. Margaret Ferguson Books, 2016. $17.99. ISBN 9780374302054. Unpaged. Ages 4-10. P8 Q7.
Charlie takes his mom on an amazing adventure in his cardboard box car. Although they never leave home, they are able to pretend and have a wonderful time. The child tells the mother what to say which is typical of a small child when pretending and telling others what to do. End pages show the path where the cardboard box car drives in the story.
Verdict: This is a great read aloud for parents and children to help spark imagination and play. Hopefully, parents will read it with their child and then have their own adventures together.
