Thumbs up for The No. 1 Car Spotter and The No. 1 Car Spotter and the Firebird by Atinuke. Kids’ books.
Absolutely delightful kids’ early chapter books about a clever boy growing up in a very small village in an unnamed African country. He is the No. 1 Car Spotter because he is the best at spotting and identifying the makes of the cars that go by. But he is also the village’s No. 1 Problem Solver (and occasionally the No. 1 Getter-into-Trouble). I loved these books and I look forward to reading them to my niece when she’s a little older.
“Do you not know that crocodiles and leopards and towns can eat a small boy like you!” Grandmother shouted.
