Book Reviews of If I Built a Car

Book Review: Amazing Artwork!
Summary: 5 Stars

Having only recently lucked into the works of Chris Van Dusen, I now consider myself a hard core fan for life! He is the first author to whom I have EVER written fan email - heck, he's the first anyone to whom I have written fan mail! (and he responded to me on the same day!! VERY cool!)

His color choices, details and imagination leave me wanting more each time I pick up one of his books. My children (ages 1, 7 and 8) LOVE hearing the stories! The rhyming is fun, but unleashing the imagination is even more enjoyable. While one might think there is little a person could do to improve upon the amazing car Chris has created, this book actually opened dialogue with my kids in what *else* we'd put in our own dream cars. We had a lot of fun coming up with cool ideas.

Hats off to this incredible artist with a talent for creating fun stories to accompany his most amazing art work!
