Every road trip needs an atlas, a mascot, and, of course, an assortment of top-notch picture books and must-read middle-grade novels. As summer approaches, my friend Donna and I start brainstorming travel companions and creating a list of books every bookseller and librarian across the country should know about. I sent Donna the following text message moments after reading Backseat A-B-See.
Thankfully, Donna agrees with me that Backseat A-B-See needs to come along on our next reading road trip. We came up with 26 reasons why it is perfect for your next road trip, too.
