Illustrated by
James Lee Croft.
"Cars play piggy back, / Cars play jacks, / Cars play dodgeball, / Then eat snacks." The simple rhyming text describes the activities of playful cars, while the illustrations show the cars being jacked up to have their tires changed, avoiding a ball in the street, or being filled up at the gas station. Croft's bright acrylics depict the cheerfully personified cars on wide swaths of color.
