Amazon.com Review
The luminous pencil drawings of Peter McCarty that illustrate Night Driving capture the simple, memorable story of a young boy's nighttime car ride with Dad. Cruising rural highways, watching the stars, and listening to a ball game on the radio on the way to the mountains for a camping trip--this is the stuff of permanent childhood memories. John Coy's prose captures the events and feeling of that trip in a subtle, beautiful style.
Product Description
A father and son drive into the night. As the sky turns shades of deep blue and purple they watch for night animals, swap baseball stories, and keep a lookout for eighteen wheelers. But they have miles to go before they can sleep, and it's a real challenge to stay awake for a whole night of driving.
Celebrating the relationship between a father and his son, John Coy's spare, poetic text and Peter McCarty's striking black-and-white drawings (complete with gas pumps, cafes, and truck stops) capture the warmth and nostalgia of a very special road trip.
