Travel down the road with ten animal friends on one unforgettable road trip. Rabbit is driving to town in his car. Along the way, he picks up Mole, Squirrel, Porcupine, Possum, Beaver, Crow, Skunk, Fox, and Cow. But—boing-boing-ping, squeak-squeak-squeak, rumble-rumble-thump—something goes wrong with Rabbit's car. Will Rabbit and his friends make it to town? Miriam Aroner's delightful story features a simple, rhythmic text, with plenty of sound and action words to make this book a perfect one for reading aloud.
