2009-09-06T15:01:00.000-07:00

Recently I took my 3 year old nephew through a car wash for the first time. He thought it was the most thrilling ride in the car he ever took. The soap, bubbles, industrial sized scrubbers, air blower and all the wheels and mechanics of it kept him fascinated. So I found him a book that is now his new favorite; The Scrubbly Bubbly Car Wash by Irene O'Garden.
