About this item
Perfect for fans of John Cenas Elbow Grease and The Little Engine that Could, this winning, playfully illustrated tale shows that even the new car on the block can accomplish incredible things if he believes in himself!Axle is a brand-new car, fresh off of the assembly line. It feels like his tires have barely hit the pavement when its time for all the newbies to move out! Axle watches the other cars zoom onto Earlene, their transport truck, but cant quite seem to put himself in drive. What will happen at the car dealership? What if hes not ready for his road test? Axle tells Earlene he feels funny ... maybe hes out of alignment. She should probably just go without him. Even after Earlene gets him moving, Axle still stalls and crawls. But when the crew hits an unexpected roadblock, it may just be Axle who sparks his plugs, revs his engine, and saves the day!
