Mr. Gumpy's Motor Car

<p>When Mr. Gumpy decides to go for a ride in his bright-red car, everyone wants to come along -- a rabbit, a cat, a dog, a sheep, chickens, a calf, a goat, and a boy and girl. &quot;All right,&quot; says Mr. Gumpy. &quot;But it will be a squash.&quot; So they all squash in and, for a while, chug along happily. Then it starts to rain, and the car becomes stuck in the mud. Who will help Mr. Gumpy push the car out? &quot;Not me,&quot; says each passenger. In the end, however, they all have to help, and a wonderful time is had by all.</p><p>John Burningham, twice winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal for his outstanding illustrations, has written a simple story of delightfully understated humor and illustrated it in his most enchanting style.</p>
