REVIEWS

“Opening with a regional U.S. map that shows the winding path of Route 66 across eight states, from Illinois to California, Murray’s book is an eclectic presentation of roadside sights and a good basic guide to the American West.”

-Kirkus Review

"This book presents Route 66, the most famous road in the world, in a whimsical yet educational way. It takes great care with the history of the road and packs each page with details that appeal to the children in all of us. When young readers and listeners realize the landscape in this book is REAL, it's sure to inspire the next generation to see Route 66 for themselves."

- Rhys Martin, President of Oklahoma Route 66 Association, Inc., Member Route 66 Association, & Travel Writer and Photographer

Using a variety of literary devices, the writing is fresh and fun. Accompanying the stylistic prose is warm and compelling imagery by Joyce Cole that demonstrates a real love for children and the Mother Road.”
