A pair of kids learn what it is really like to be squished together during one hilarious and eventful car ride When Max and Molly can't stop complaining about being squished in the back seat of the car, their clever mom knows exactly what to do--offer rides to their animal friends, who are happy to pile in and come along As the back seat fills up with a wiggly piglet, two flitting ducklings, and three woofing puppies, soon Max and Molly are not only squished--they're SQUISH SQUASH SQUISHED So when they notice Mom slowing down to wave at Scooter Mooter and his calves, Max and Molly don't say a word--they hush-mush. Thankfully, Mom keeps driving--and after everyone's dropped off and it's time to hustle-bustle home, Max and Molly are happy to stretch out in the back seat of their suddenly gracious-spacious automobile.Author: Rebecca Kraft RectorPublisher: Nancy Paulsen BooksPublished: 02/16/2021Pages: 40Binding Type: HardcoverWeight: 0.88lbsSize: 10.60h x 8.70w x 0.50dISBN: 9780525516835Audience: Ages 4-8Review Citation(s): Kirkus Reviews 12/15/2020School Library Journal 01/01/2021 pg. 58Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks 02/01/2021Horn Book Magazine 03/01/2021 pg. 72Hornbook Guide to Children 01/01/2021 - Superior,Well Above AverageAbout the AuthorRebecca Kraft Rector is a children's librarian who has written over thirty children's books and whose work has been published in several magazines for young readers.
