Beep, Beep, Vroom, Vroom

 A book J-jo has been requesting frequently these days is Beep Beep, Vroom Vroom!

It's all about a little girl who likes her brothers cars too much and keeps taking them off his shelf.  Her brother likes to line them up just so in a pattern (red, blue, yellow, red, blue, yellow), but every time she lines them up again, the pattern changes (red, red, blue, blue, yellow, yellow, for example) until the very last time when she lines them up just right, just in time, as her brother walks into his room.

Bear could relate to the little boy as J-jo often likes to play with her things.  J-jo could relate to playing with cars and loved the repetitious "beep, beep, vroom, vroom."

We painted with cars as our go-along project.




And also played with patterns with our own cars.

  1. Thanks so much for doing this! Our library system doesn't have this book, so I just might have to order it. :) It sounds like it would be perfect for my kids.

  4. Well, that is all just very cute. That seems perfect for my daughter and two boys since she loves to play with their cars. And they are ridiculously into patterns lately.
