Synopsis

"A toy father and son take an evening drive, picking up passengers in their bright red Jeep until it's spilling over with other toy occupants; then it's time to return to their place on the window sill just as the little boy in the bedroom awakens to the sunshine. Kirk's delightful play on perspective works in both illustration and text." - Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor

Honk Honk! Beep Beep!

Father and child rise early for a trip to watch the sunrise on the mountaintop. Along the way they meet many friendly faces, some headed the same direction, and others in their own vehicles-big rigs, bulldozers and trains--with their own places to go and things to do. Nothing beats the start of a brand new day, especially when there are many vehicles to spot along the way.

With a simple, playful text and boldly colored, toy-like illustrations, Daniel Kirk captures the fun of a special drive.

From School Library Journal:

PreS-K–A father and child, both dolls, take a nighttime jeep ride through a human boy's bedroom. Before long, other toys–bunnies, a road-construction crew, a farmer, sheep, a monkey, and ladybugs–join the event-filled excursion. The crowded jeep rolls across the sleeping child's bed and, when it stops, the passengers look out a window at the sunrise. In the final spread, the wide-awake boy looks out the window, too. Kirk's colorful oil-on-canvas illustrations are similar in style to his artwork in Kevin Lewis's Chugga-Chugga Choo Choo (1999) and Tugga-Tugga Tugboat (2006, both Hyperion). Playful details capture the interest of young children, while the rhyming text bounces along. Listeners will want to chime in on the repetitive “Honk Honk!” and “Beep Beep!” This imaginative story makes a pleasing choice for bedtime reading and storytimes.–Lynn K.
