Mr Gumpy’s Motor Car (Mr Gumpy, 2)
£7.00£7.60 (-8%)
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.

Love the book . My Grandson adores all the John Burningham books. It doesn’t date.

I bought this for my 4 year old who loves anything transport related but we were both disappointed with it. The story is very simple and old fashioned with only a line or two on each page. Suddenly you get a full page of text explaining why each animal/creature cannot help push the car out of the mud and then back to one line. I think we’ll stick to ‘Duck in the truck’ which is similar but more engaging.

Reading out loud to grandchildren is such a pleasure…..and this book makes it doubly so. They love it and so do I!

The book is ‘OK’ wthout being ‘brilliant’. It’s quite an old story – first published 1974, but there’s nothing wrong with that. It was bought as a Christmas present for my 3 year old grandson who enjoyed it at the first reading but the story is not very exciting or particularly memorable and I suspect the book will stay on the shelf until eventually being given away. There’s nothing that would have him rushing back to read it again. Again, the illustrations are ‘OK’ without being particularly wonderful. So it’s, er, ‘OK’… If that sounds like damning it with faint praise, then so be it…
