The No. 1 Car Spotter Goes to School

Description

Oluwalase Babatunde Benson is the No. 1 car spotter in his village - probably the world! In this fourth book about an endearing young African boy, No. 1, and his best friend, Coca-Cola, No. 1 befriends a couple of American visitors and teaches them a thing or two about goats. And his dream of going to school comes true as well. But learning to read and write means that No. 1 has little time at home and even less time to spend with his grandfather. And there is something very important to learn that only Grandfather can teach him.

Atinuke was born in Nigeria and spent her childhood in both Africa and the UK. She works as a traditional oral storyteller in schools and theatres all over the world. Atinuke is the author of two children's book series, one about the No. 1 car spotter and one about Anna Hibiscus. Atinuke lives on a mountain overlooking the sea in West Wales. She supports the charity SOS Children's Villages. Warwick Johnson Cadwell lives by the Sussex seaside with his smashing family and pets. Most of his time is spent drawing or thinking about drawing, but for a change of scenery he also skippers boats.
