If I Built a Car

Chris Van Dusen is this generation's Dr. Seuss.

All of his books are on our FAVORITES shelf. I suspect there is an autobiographical element to "If I Built a Car" and that makes it special. The Mr. Magee books are great, too.

I can't think of anything bad to say. Well, I suppose I'm a little bitter that he can be so talented as to write *and* illustrate such stories!

We love pretty much anything by Chris Van Dusen (if you haven't read the Circus Ship you are missing out) but this is the new favorite book in my house! Fantastic rhymes, easy cadence and a story kids can relate to. We read it nightly and are eager to read even more of Van Dusen's books.

I love all the books by this author. Imaginative, well written, and perfectly illustrated. Both of my sons love to read, from and early age. My 3 year old is already in chapter books, but he always comes back to anything written by this author. Highly recommend.

Chris Van Dusen is one of my very favorite authors. His books appeal to children and adults alike because they're cleverly written and beautifully illustrated. If I Built a Car is one of his best. Read one of his books and you'll soon be searching for others written by Van Dusen. They're like potato chips...you can't read just one!
