“The value of this sort of book is that it can really fire a child’s imagination as Albie has some exciting adventures with some monsters at the car wash. It can help you as a parent turn an everyday experience into an adventure!”
“Children will be caught up completely in the story, and there are lots of chances to join in with sound effects and responses. Story, pace and tone are spot on for the audience, and the bright, friendly illustrations make this virtually irresistible.”
“Leo chose this book at the library because he liked the car on the front cover. He really liked all of the ‘crazy-looking’ vehicles with their flaming exhausts, big spoilers and other features. He thought it was kind of Albie to let the monsters join his team when their cars broke down. ”
“Yet another great book in the collection. My boys just love them.”
