This book is about
It is a book with lots of rhymes which are fun to read. When you get to the last page, it puts all the rhymes together from morning to night, making a another story on the last page!

The main characters are
The family in the car.

My favourite part of the book is
Well the rhymes were all good, but I loved the one that had the words 'we like running, running around'. It was very cool!!!!

I would also like to say
I enjoyed the last page, with a bit of each of the rhymes the best. I knew all the words by then, and it made it fun for mummy and me. I went back to some rhymes to read them over and over in a 'sing-song' way!
