Review by Booklist Review

K-Gr. 2. The nagging kids can't wait to get there and the driver must suffer the consequences. It's your universal family scenario, and this title in the I'm Going to Read! series gets it just right, with simple words and clear line-and-watercolor pictures that show a girl and her younger brother driving with Dad to the toy shop. The journey down the country road, through a dark tunnel, and around a corner seems interminable. As the tension mounts, the girl yells the title's question, which is printed in increasingly larger type, until the travelers reach their destination. The kids choose their toys, climb in the car to drive home--and begin the questioning all over again. This will be fun for reading aloud to preschoolers, who will recognize the excitement of the journey as much as the climax of arrival. --Hazel Rochman Copyright 2005 Booklist

Review by Horn Book Review

These books cover a broad range of reading levels (kindergarten to third grade), varying in complexity and vocabulary. Although the stories are tensionless, No More TV and All Dirty, for the earliest readers, may be most useful to collections as demand for this level is always great. Illustrations are appropriate to the audience and story. There are eight other fall 2005 books in this series. [Review covers these I'm Going to Read! titles: All Dirty! All Clean!, Class Pets, Are We There Yet?, and No More TV, Sleepy Cat.] (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
