About the Book
Mr. Cat has just built a new car with trash he found on the mountain,
and he decides to take it out on the town. Yet, as he travels down the
mountain road, he meets hitchhikers. They’re not just any hitchhikers
either, oh no: a humongous polar bear, a dog, a family of boars, and a
school of fish all ask to ride with him. What will he do? His car is small,
but everyone is so polite, and when the car runs into trouble, his
passengers are there to help!
Hitch a ride with author Hsiao Ching-Lien and illustrator Maureen on
a journey that is as educational as it is ridiculous. Teaching through
exaggeration, the story describes the act of sharing as a way to
conquer the impossible and go places one could never reach
otherwise. Maureen’s illustrations add a beautiful sense of whimsy to
the story, causing its scenes to balloon beyond the mere borders of
the page.
