What is Wish Upon a Car about?

As bedtime arrives, a child makes a wish and journeys into a magical world of vehicles. Cars, bikes, jeeps and trucks race, roll and rumble through the stars, carrying little dreamers towards Dreamland. With a gentle rhythm and playful rhymes, the adventure moves from exciting roads and roaring engines to a calm, sleepy ending. Young readers can spot different vehicles, imagine where they might travel and settle down for a peaceful night of dreams.
