Book Cover & Preview Text
One day, Hood-wrinkle just refused to run. He said,"I'm pooped. I'm too tired to run another block. My tires ache. I can't get my breath. My exhaust pipe is rusty and really hurts. The gasoline tastes awful and besides a rock hit me in the eye so my headlight is all black and blue."

About the Book
Hood-wrinkle is an old, old car similar to one built in 1908. He has fallen in disrepair and has an obvious wrinkled hood. His owner,
Car-burr-r-rator wants to restore Hood-wrinkle and make him happy once again.
The story is about how Car-burr-r-rator gets all his friends involved in raising spring flowers to pay for Hood-wrinkles repairs. Lots of examples will show children how to "force bulbs" but more importantly this book will hopefully give them an interest in learning about flowers and a bit about how they grow.
