I have to confess, I had fun with this book. (Not while I was driving. I read through it BEFORE we set out on the family vacation.) And because I hung up my crayons years ago I resisted coloring the pictures and saved that activity for my two boys -- ages 9 and 11. (Although it comes with a start-imediately set of 3 crayons.) My fun was doing word games and answering the wildlife and US geography trivia questions. And my two sons loved the roadkill humor of the clever cartoon drawings. This book will work for a trip across country or just a trip to the beach. Or for a rainy afternoon, in doors, at home.

Hooyee! Legendary author Buck Peterson and his drawing fool sidekick Sourdough McLean have cooked up a terrific book. Remember all those tedious family vacations, the dull games, the numbing banality of those books that promised to keep those monsters in the back seat quiet and never did? ROADKILL USA lampoons it all, and with great style and verve. The book comes complete with three crayons (brown, black, red--the red will wear out the fastest), singalongs, and completely useless tips on the fauna of these here states. Unqualified rave!
