10 Children's Car Books I Love

On September 14th I will be a grandmother for the sixth time! Quincy my newest granddaughter is due to arrive sometime that day and I am on pins and needles with excitement. I have the honor of caring for three of the older children and my two other grandchildren for a kid fest at grandma's house, while Mom and Dad go off to the hospital to welcome Quincy to the world. This will be the first time I will not be there to hold a grandchild just after birth. :--(

To comfort myself and make it fun, I collected  my top 10 favorite children's car books to share with them in hopes of creating a car crazy grandchild to follow in my passions!

Ooh, don't forget our personal favorite, "Sheep in a Jeep."(http://www.amazon.com/Sheep-Jeep-Book-Nancy-Shaw/dp/0618695222/ref=sr_1_1/103-4764234-0487052?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1189732748&sr=1-1)
by Nancy E. Shaw (Author) and Margot Apple (Illustrator): "Beep! Beep! Sheep in a jeep on a hill that's steep. Oh no, Jeep won't go..." I have read it so many times, I know it by heart.
