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.
