What is If I Built a Car about?

Jack imagines the ultimate car and fills it with fantastic features. His design has shiny chrome, bright colours, a fireplace, a swimming pool, a snack bar and much more. When Robert the robot starts the engine, Jack and his dad set off on an extraordinary test drive. Their car races over land, flies through the air and dives beneath the sea. Told in lively rhyme, this playful adventure celebrates creativity, invention and the joy of imagining the impossible.
