Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Flies Again.

The engine used to belong to an extraordinary car . . . and it wants its bodywork back! But as the Tootings hurtle across the world rebuilding the original Chitty, a sinister baddie is on their trail one who will stop at nothing to get the magnificent car for himself.

Fueled by wry humor , this much-anticipated sequel to the children’s classic by Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond featuring a contemporary family and a camper van with a mind of its own is driven by best-selling, award-winning author Frank Cottrell Boyce and revved up by Joe Bergers black-and-white illustrations.

    My granddaughter will be reading Beverly Cleary’s Ramona Quimby at age 8 plus all the other Ramona books and the Ralph Mouse books too. She recently discovered one of her Mom’s favorite authors when my daughter was a child. My daughter was often discovered reading by flashlight after being given the warning “Lights out in 10 minutes.” Now it’s my bookworm granddaughter who is found using her crank style camping lantern after her “last 10 minutes to lights out” warning has expired. 🙂
