Friday My Radio Flyer Flew

 

 by Zachary Pullen

This one will bring anyone back to their childhood!  We have all either had our own Radio Flyer, knew someone who had one, or at least dreamed of riding on one!  As I read, I felt the anticipation of each day leading up to the big fly on Friday.  I especially loved the role the boy's dad played in making his dream happen.  Though the words and concept were fairly simple, the illustrations took it to another level.  This book is a reminder that anything can be achieved through a child's healthy imagination.
