From the publisher

With bright, clear art and prose as clean as Sam the narrator's shiny engine, this preschooler-friendly book explores transportation, the parts of a car, signs and signals, night and day, community, and occupations.

Bright, graphic artwork invites readers to count, name colors and shapes, and follow Sam and his car as they drive through a bustling world from Sam's home in the country to his job in the city. Named to numerous "best of the year" lists, My Car features vehicles, signs and signals, and a surprise ending. "For young children intrigued by cars, this book is simply wonderful."--ALA Booklist

Byron Barton is the celebrated creator of numerous picture books for very young children, including Trucks, My Bus, and Building a House.


Join Sam for a day of careful driving, discovery, and one big surprise.


  • Community Helpers: Meet Sam, a friendly driver who shows readers the importance of his job and driving safely from the country to the city.
  • Parts of a Car: Discover the basic components that make Sam's car run, from the engine and wheels to the steering wheel and lights.
  • Road Safety Basics: Learn the importance of obeying traffic laws, reading signs, and stopping for pedestrians in a way that's easy for toddlers to understand.
  • Bold, Simple Art: A perfect introduction to the iconic, blocky, and colorful illustration style of celebrated creator Byron Barton.

From the rear cover

My car has wheels.
My car has gas.
The horn goes beep.
Come take a ride.
