Bookroo's summary

In a workshop brimming with odds and ends, Gus tackles his friends' vehicle woes with clever fixes. From a rhino's tiny scooter seat to other quirky challenges, Gus's solutions are ingenious. But as the day winds down and the workshop empties, Gus faces his own dilemma. Can he find a solution for himself when the shelves are bare? Dive into a world of creativity and resourcefulness where every problem has a unique answer, and discover if Gus can solve the final puzzle of his day.

From the publisher

Gus’s workshop is chock-full of odds and ends. When his friend Rico comes over with a problem—his scooter seat is way too small for a rhino—Gus finds just the thing to fix it.

One by one Gus’s friends bring him their vehicles and Gus solves their troubles with ingenious solutions. No job is too difficult for Gus!

Soon the workshop is almost empty. Is anything left to solve Gus’s own problem at the end of a long day?

Gus’s Garage is Leo Timmers at his best: effortlessly simple text, intricately detailed illustrations, and vehicles galore.
