Bookroo's summary

Hop aboard a vibrant vintage van with two adventurous grandparents as they zoom down the highway. Passing trains, bulldozers, and more, the van races against time, zigzagging through a lively journey. With luggage flying and horns blaring, will they reach their destination just in time? This playful twist on a classic counting song invites you to sing along and enjoy the ride.

From the publisher

This old van, she passed one, shining in the rising sun. With a click clack rattle rack, ready for some fun, This old van says, “Goodbye, one!” Take a rollicking ride in This Old Van, a joyful take on the classic children’s counting song. As the colorfully painted vintage vehicle, driven by a really cool pair of grandparents, rolls down the highway, it passes one train, two bulldozers, three tractors, and four semis, right up to ten muddy motorbikes. And along the way, luggage flies off, horns honk, and the hurrying van zigs and zags–till it arrives at its destination JUST IN TIME! You won’t be able to resist singing every fun verse out loud.
