Imaginative with a nice rhyme scheme and vivid art.

This book is mostly suitable for primary aged students. It is about a boy who dreams up a really cool car. He decides he wants to build a car that is not ordinary–but that has features like flying, going underwater, has a pool, smells good, and the list goes on. This book encourages children to let their imaginations run wild and it conveys that there does not have to be limitations to dreams. I would use this book in my classroom as a fun read aloud. I think that students would be so engaged and would really enjoy listening to another child's imagination. ( )

This book was amazing! The main character is a young boy named Jack and the way his mind works is wonderful he asks so many questions and thinks of ways to innovate and create. I would love to read this book is my class is ever in a creative slump. This book would help students to start asking questions and especially to know that creativity can be limitless. ( )

A little boy imagines all of the features he would give a car if he were to make one.
