Product Description
The start of an exciting new series about the irresistible No. 1, whose hobby is car spotting but who is good at solving all sorts of problems for his village. When the family's cart breaks down and there's no way of bringing goods to market, it's No. 1 who devises the Toyota Cow-rolla and saves the day. He runs errands for his family and helps Mama Coca-Cola feed the busloads of people who stop for her delicious fried akara. No. 1 even helps Grandmother get to the medical centre when she can't afford treatment. No. 1 is bright and plucky and resourceful – a fantastic new character in what will undoubtedly prove to be a brilliant series!

Format:Paperback
Every child should get to know The No 1 Car Spotter.........both my son and daughter LOVE this book........and there's a new one out this month too! Every child should have this on their book shelf
Format:Paperback
My 7 year old son picked this up and could not put it down. I am on line to see if there are any more in the series! The stories are exciting and funny but each chapter gives you something to talk about and for everyone to think about. My son is a good reader but his teacher has encouraged him to imaginative writing, this is a blue print - chances to talk about what the author means and why she has chosen those words. I will buy the next one as soon as it is out.
Format:Paperback
I bought this to read to my son (because he is really into cars and because the cover attracted me). The language though is clear and engaging - it's a good book for confident readers to tackle themselves.
It's not too long, not too short, 110 pages of generously spaced text and copiously illustrated with quirky black and white line drawings.
The story is about a boy in an African village, but there's lots here that children anywhere can relate to (the book is proof that somethings - like having to do tasks we don't always like - are universal). It has the ring of authenticity, explores what it means to be poor in a rich man's world, but without being sentimentally cloying.
Although it's about children in an undeveloped village, their dilemmas and activities are universal. The final chapter, in particular, really makes you think.
I would definitely recommend it as a good book for boys, or girls, or their parents (particularly if you are looking for something a bit more unusual than the usual run-of-the-mill animal/adventure/sporting stories). It's a good story and an imaginative way into exploring other worlds.
