Bobby's Got a Brand-New Car
Bobby's Got a Brand-New Car | Zidrou
8 posts | 1 read
It's the best day ever! Bobby goes out to buy a car with his own money and spends his time driving around town. He does all kinds of grownup things like picking up his parents - obeying all the rules of the road, of course. At the end of the day he drives home, where it's revealed to the reader that it was all part of a fantastic dream. But Bobby isn't disappointed. Instead, he wonders what amazing things he can dream of next ... This is a stylish, child-friendly celebration of the power of dreams and imagination, ideal for any child who'd like to be a grownup for a day - and for anyone who likes super-cool cars.

Well, I didn‘t even crack a book today, but I did trade in my Explorer for a Bronco Sport! It took 9 hours, 2 dealerships, and a lot of ridiculousness, but it‘s mine. Not what I expected to like, and I sure didn‘t expect to buy on the first day of the hunt. Still, glad it‘s over and we‘re out of the 100-degree heat.

Ruthiella Congratulations! 👍 11mo
kspenmoll Yay!!! 11mo

Again... sorry not book related

Here is the decals and the sticker I got when we were out shopping today. Hubby also ordered me a couple from amazon. I do know one of them is a #MomLife one, but have no idea what the other is. The Deadpool one that is in the pic.... the little man wanted it. I am a hippie at heart, so i loved the peace frogs the minute I saw it. And the Pride Coexist sticker is something that is very very close to my heart

Sorry not book related!

So this is my new (well new to me, its a 2011 Kia Soul) baby! Its a little dirty... hello its winter! And this was taken after a car wash. Man I hate snow! It feels very different from what i have driven before. I even have some decals and bumper stickers to put on it. Im gunna deck it out for my tastes and my kids since thats mostly who will be in the car with me.

Next post will be the decals & stickers.

1 1/2 ⭐️ This is a nice story of a kid buying a car. there is a recurring theme that I don‘t like. Bobby has a “magic card, the one that pays for everything”. I think this is a bad lesson to be teaching. We don‘t know if it‘s a credit card or a bank card, just that it pays for everything. We need to teach children about money from an early age, and using a “magic card” is an irresponsible lesson to teach without knowing the origin of said card.

Bookzombie Wow! I agree that this is an irresponsible lesson to teach kids. (edited) 7y
Andrea4 Magic card comes with magic debt!!! 7y
