Mitchell's License- This is a New Favorite!

Hop in for a hilarious, heartwarming ride with four-year-old Mitchell, a kid with a need for speed, a lead foot, and a very special license to drive.
This has to be one of the cutest books I have seen in a while! I LOVE this book. First off, I absolutely love Tony Fucile!!! He is the illustrator for Bink and Gollie and the author/illustrator for Let's Do Nothing.
In Mitchell's License, Mitchell is a 4 year old boy who does not like to go to bed...until his dad lets him drive to bed. Now, Mitchell loves to drive (his daddy) very fast to bed!!! The story is funny for kids and parents and the illustrations only make it more funny!!!!


Mitchell was four years, one month, and five days old when he got his license. He may need a little boost getting into the driver’s seat, but once he’s behind the wheel, his car sure goes fast! Left turn, right turn, slow down for speed bumps - Mitchell is a pro. And he loves the way that horn sounds! There’s just one problem: Mitchell and his car have a slight disagreement about what type of fuel should go into the tank. With warmth and sly wit, Hallie Durand follows a young child obsessed with all things automobile, while Tony Fucile’s comical illustrations convey the well-tuned bond between an obliging father and a high-octane child.


Here is Tony Fucile signing my copy of Let's Do Nothing for Carson at the ALA conference.
