A wonderful and lighthearted journey of father and son as they take a night trip driving to the mountains to go camping. The illustrations express beautifully the muted night and all of its wonders while driving at night. I can can relate and remember driving cross country with my father and stopping for late night early morning breakfast at the vintage diners, ordering pigs in a blanket. Many a child will be able to relate to this tale of father and son and the bestowing of traditional values in America. I believe this particular book is written with a Midwestern mindset and Americana, as where else can you stop the car on a straightaway with open prairies abound and stare at the moonlight. Either way, the expressive muted night illustrations of the moon, hills, diner, and mountains gives an almost surreal picture of a child's rural midwestern upbringing, but not any taste of suburban, or urban life. This book is about a father and a son going on a trip to the Mountains and they drive at night. I this book because I have done some night driving with my family. I would use this book in my classroom because the students can relate to it from other trips they gone on. This book would be great for fourth and fifth graders. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

As father and son drive into the night, they watch the sunset, talk about baseball, sing cowboy songs, and even change a flat tire before pitching camp at daybreak. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Celebrating the relationship between a father and his son, John Coy's spare, poetic text and Peter McCarty's striking black-and-white drawings (complete with gas pumps, cafes, and truck stops) capture the warmth and nostalgia of a very special road trip.
