Are We There Yet?

By Dandi Daley Mackall

That great American tradition, the family car trip, gets its due in this picture book packed with verse as bouncy as a rumble seat on Route 66. Families will chuckle over the familiar bugaboos of long-distance driving-punctuated, of course, by that universal backseat refrain. Sis and little brother spar, Mom and Dad belt out golden oldies, pup can't keep his fleas to himself . . . and how did that underwear get out the window, anyway? It's enough to give the most patient passenger ants in the pants! With rhymes that roll right along and funny, exuberant illustrations, this read-aloud is a perfect addition to any summer-vacation book bag. Illustrated by Shannon McNeill.

Customer Reviews

Perfect for the family road trip!

We are about to take our kids on their first family road trip, and this book has been perfect to give them an idea of what to expect. When I saw the title I knew we had to get it-- how many times did we all say to our own parents "Are we there yet???" Our kids really liked the story and pictures, and they are now really excited to go on the trip. I have a feeling the book will be going along too!
