10.8. Baby, You Can Drive My Car
November 22 is Go For A Ride Day. Read a book with a vehicle of some sort(one that could be used by a normal sized adult person for transportation) on the cover. The method of transportation can be powered (car, train) or not (bicycle, skateboard). REQUIRED: Include the cover in your post.

Cait S | 738 comments Is this one okay? Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer

It's a bus that he's sitting on, with the picture enlarged you can see the words Transit System on the side but I'm not sure if there's enough of it in the picture for it to count :)

Would that train be enough to count?

Alternatively I have Whip It by Shauna Cross with roller skates.

yes, it's clearly a bus (although if it's the bus I'm thinking of from the book, it's not going anywhere!)

yes. Can't see the picture here but it shows up in the GR description. In future, if you're asking about a book, please be sure to include a link to the book, so that it isn't necessary to go outside the thread and do a separate search for the book.

Yes - the GR description of the book talks about a big airship, ferrying wealthy passengers around, and I assume that's what the thing is.

FYI an airship is a hydrogen/helium filled vessel - sometimes called a dirigible or zeppelin. Google THE HINDENBURG.
