Durand, H. (2011). Mitchell's License. Fucile, T. Somerville, MA: Candlewick Press.
Genre: Picture Storybook
Mitchell does not like going to bed
until his Dad gives him a license to drive to bed. Mitchell drives wildly at
first, crashing into things. But he soon becomes a responsible driver--staying
in his lane, checking the oil, turning in time, even washing the windshield. I appreciated the father/son bond portrayed in this fun
bedtime book.
What makes this book so
unique? Mitchell’s dad is creative, imaginative, fun, and energetic. He
actively engages in playing with Mitchell. I think all children would like to
have a dad that gives 110% of him to them even when he is visibly exhausted
after playing for a while. The illustrations do a great job of showing
movement, as well as the excitement of Mitchell and his dad as the drive
around.
