My Car by Byron Barton - Kids love this book

Sam may be a man of few words, but he is certainly eloquent on the subject of his car. With a bright, bold palette of mostly primary colors, author-illustrator Byron Barton (Trucks, Planes, Machines at Work, etc.) deftly depicts the fondness Sam has for his chunky little car and the care with which he treats it. I love my car. / I keep my car clean. / My car needs oil / and a full tank of gasoline. Sam also describes the parts of his car, how to drive carefully, and where he likes to go in his car. The story concludes with a twist, sure to delight already rapt readers.

Sam and his acquaintances are unusual-looking, blocky figures, with big black blobs for eyes, and more blobs for nose and mouth. Characters and objects are reminiscent of the cars, signs, and figures in a childs play station. Small details are appealing: the mechanic is a woman, and the cars headlights bathe a portion of the text in yellow. This should be required reading for every drivers ed student; we can only hope that the repeated readings this book is bound to receive will sink in to preschoolers minds for future recall: I obey the laws. / I stop for pedestrians. / I read the signs. This is a lovely picture book. (Ages 2 to 5) --Emilie Coulter

All of my kids love this book! It has bright, colorful illustrations and uses simple language, and kids just seem to love cars. I think ages 1-3 is the best age group for this book.
