書籍內容簡介:
書中的小男孩很喜歡汽車,有一天當他正好在爸爸的車上子便開始幻想起自己「設計」的汽車,喜歡汽車的小朋友是否也曾做過類以的白日夢呢?讓我們一起來看看這個小男孩心目中理想的汽車會是怎樣的!適合6歲以上兒童閱讀。

A young boy decides to design a better car than the old family station wagon. Driven by a robot, his sleek, supercharged vehicle can drive underwater and fly, and the interior includes a snack bar and swimming pool. The story is told in jaunty rhyming couplets, but the fun really comes from the illustrations, which perfectly parody 1950s' visions of the future, as depicted in such magazines as Popular Mechanics. The car glides past neat suburban homes with wide and perfect lawns, where everything is bathed in pastels. This may appeal more to parents (or, perhaps more accurately, to grandparents) who remember these renderings of technological dream worlds. Still, children will enjoy the exuberance and goofiness of the double-page spreads, such as the close-up of the expansive snack bar, which dispenses burgers, fries, and Cheez Whip on command.
