Rattletrap Car

It's a hot summer day and Junie and Jakie would like to go for a swim at the lake. But, will their old rattletrap jalopy of a car actually get them there? Author Phyllis Root uses alliteration and onomatopoeia to describe the breakdowns and the innovative solutions that work to help the family finish their trip. The illustrations by Jill Barton add humorous details to this "Hoot!" of a story.
