Bookroo's summary

Join Sam on a vibrant journey from his country home to his city job, exploring transportation, signs, and community life. Discover the parts of a car and the world around it, all through bright, engaging artwork. What surprises await at the end of Sam's drive?

From the publisher

With prose as clean as Sam’s the narrator’s shiny engine, Byron Barton, the celebrated creator of numerous picture books for very young children, including Trucks, My Bus, and Building a House, explores transportation, the parts of a car, signs and signals, night and day, community, and occupations. Bright, graphic artwork invites readers to count, name colors and shapes, and follow Sam and his car as they drive through a bustling world from Sam’s home in the country to his job in the city. The surprise ending is a gem! “For young children intrigued by cars, this book is simply wonderful.”–ALA BooklistSupports the Common Core Standards
