A poignant book about new horizons and saying goodbye from
best-loved creators: John Burningham and Helen Oxenbury Miles is a
difficult dog who loves to ride in his motor car. He's growing
older, but a new challenge awaits when he takes to the skies. A
picture book of beauty, infinite possibility, and love, which
explores loss and grief in subtle and comforting ways. This is the
award-winning author-illustrator John Burningham's last story -
written by friend, Bill Salaman and illustrated by Helen Oxenbury.
In a book that is as intriguing as it is useful and entertaining,
we follow a family on its way through the complexities of a modern
day airport. From checking bags and watching them disappear on the
mysterious conveyer belt, to security clearance and a seemingly
endless wait at the gate to finally being airborne. But wait!
There's more! The youngest family member's sock monkey has gone
missing. Follow it at the bottom of the page as it makes a journey
as memorable as that of the humans above.
Rev your engines and get ready for this exciting look at how Dale
Earnhardt Jr. lived up to his family legacy and became one of the
greatest professional stock car racing drivers in the world. No one
was surpised when Dale Earnhardt Jr. began his racing career at age
seventeen. His father and grandfather were professional racers, and
he spent most of his childhood servicing cars at his dad's
dealership. Now Dale was ready for his own turn in the driver's
seat. He started out racing in the Street Stock division but would
go on to win several NASCAR championships before retiring from
driving fulltime in 2017. Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s passion and
dedication to the sport he loves is why he is considered the most
popular professional driver in the world.

vehicles are so popular.
It's a fight to the finish line! Which racing car will get there
first? Some racing cars look a lot like regular cars. Others have

race on smooth paved tracks. But they all have one thing in
common... speed! Young readers will find out about the types of
racing cars, their main parts and why fans crowd racing tracks
around the world to see them go!
