Publisher Description
Mr Gumpy has decided to go for a ride in his motor car. It's a nice day and the sun is shining, so off he goes. But he only gets as far as the lane before the children, the rabbit, the cat, the dog, the pig, the sheep, the chickens, the calf and the goat ask if they can come along too. As the motor car and its passengers make their way across the field, the weather begins to turn and the rain is soon pouring down. The tyres cannot grip the muddy ground, so Mr Gumpy asks for volunteers to push the car. But everyone has an excuse, until it gets so bad that they all have to get out and help. Eventually, the sun shines once more as they drive across the bridge - and there's time for a swim on the way home.
Customer Reviews
Mr Gumpy’s Motor Car
First, I love this story and adore the illustrations. My problem is with how it is formatted for iBooks. They did not keep the words on each spread as it was originally designed, and the illustrations are TINY. A children’s picture book should always be formatted to enjoy both the illustrations and the words. I purchased BORKA by John Burningham and the formatting is excellent. I hope they decide to reformat this book to maintain the original design and allow the illustrations to fill the screen.
