Goodreaders, to read this Level 1 reader is to hitchhike into the vibrantly imaginative world of two adorable children.

Clara and Clem take a pretend ride through forests, then up a mountain. Eventually they're driving across the sky.

And why not? What do they have, together?

* A great sense of fun
* Each other for playmates
* And all the bricks theye need in order to build their dream car.

FIVE STARS! Childlike glee!

This book is good for kindergarten and first grade. This book is about Clara and clem taking a ride in the car together. I would use this in the classroom to begin teaching students how to read.

Clara and Clem build a truck out of blocks, and then they go on an adventure. So much imagination, so much fun, so much that is portrayed with just a few words! Once again I am impressed by Ethan Long!
