My Side of the Car by Kate Feiffer
Sadie has been planning on a trip to the zoo for FOREVER and incident after incident keep postponing it. Then, the big day comes and on the way to the zoo it starts pouring. She insists that it isn’t raining on her side of the car even though her dad can barely even drive it’s raining so hard on his side of the car. I love, love, love the determination of this little girl to get to the zoo no matter what. (I see a little bit of myself in her as well. I have been known to ignore the obstacles in the way and power through even though common sense is telling everyone around me that maybe it’s not the best idea.) 🙂 Maybe that’s why I loved this book so much.
