I honestly can't imagine childhood without the trusted companionship of a good wagon.
A boy and is father find an old radio flyer wagon in the attic and thats when all the adventures start. This little boy has some big dreams, including wanting to fly, and maybe.. just maybe that old radio flyer will be just the thing he needs to get his feet off the ground!
Beautifully illustrated, Friday My Radio Flyer Flew leaves you really wondering just want is possible if you truely believe you can! For the parents out there you can't help to smile, and Friday My Radio Flyer Flew really drives home the idea that small things make the biggest impression on your child. Nothing is more precious and more fun to watch than a child so full of adventure and so sure that there is a rainbow just around the corner, lets try to keep them that way as long as we can!
Friday My Radio Flyer Flew is available on Amazon and in most major book retailers.
I have a ARC Copy of Friday My Radio Flyer Flew available to give away to one lucky reader.

My daughter is certain that princesses are real and I mean certain! We have always called her our princess & sadly we found out she truelly believed she was one via a note from her teacher!

Love all the book reviews, we are always looking for good childrens books!
When I was little I always dreamed about being a teacher or doctor. I followed one of those.
My son is four and right now he loves computers, I think he would love to be another computer geek like his daddy.
Thanks for telling us about this great new book.
My contact information is in my profile.

Oh, how fun!! My son dreams to be the best BMX star and skater! Mind you, he's 8. He's built a ramp to jump his bike from...and in his mind, he's doing the most incredible tricks ever. It's so fun to watch! Plus the ramp that he built is pretty darn cute! If you can dream it, you can do it!

When I was a kid, you could not have convinced me that fairies were not real. I was even sure that they danced in my room at night.
My girls are like the previous poster's, they are absolutely convinved they are princesses. I can hear them in the other room right now discussing their crowns.
Hi, I love children's books! The cover of this one is really cute.
It kind of reminds me of the holiday movie "A Christmas Story!" The Red Ryder BB Gun was the end all! I like that the dad and son are exploring the attic together. They work together and the boy's imagination goes to work. I knew that I would become a "Broadway Star!" I also would have a "Flea Circus" for all of the younger kids in my neighborhood! We played "school" so much, I just knew I would become a teacher. Thanks,Cindi

When I was little, I always said that I wanted to be a nurse. It's funny, after my dad left, my mom ended up going to Nursing School to support us. There is no way that I could have become a nurse become I am so squimish when it comes to blood, needles, you name it.

I dreamed that I was secretly a princess or part of the royal family. But oddly enough, I was not a super girly girl - I wanted to be a police officer for a long time when I was little. I also believed in leprechauns and following the rainbow to the pot of gold! Ah, we wish. lol. But I love the 'dreaming big' idea and the wonderful world of imagination. This book looks fantastic. Thanks!! laurachilton {at} hotmail {dot} com
This book looks amazing. Would love to win it for my daughter. She would love the fantasy behind it. Thank You for the giveaway.
my daughter dream of being a giraffe vet...talk about specific!

my sons' dream is to be a scientist
Fantastic looking illustration! When I was little, I mean from age 6 or 7 on, I proudly told people I was going to be "an author". Little did I know about 90% of that is through blogging! Haha!

when I was a kid I dreamed I would marry the president of the United States. Back then it was hard to imagine a woman might actually become a president. My wee one dreams of being an astronaut
I wanted to be a major league baseball player!!
My dreams growing up was to have red hair and become a nurse . well I didnt get red hair but fulfilled my dream of being a nurse. Our 3 boys have dreams one wants to be a baseball player, one wants to be a soccer star and the 6 year old wants to be a policeman.

Looks like a fun book...I didn't really have big dreams as a kid--lived mostly in the moment I think. Except when I had my nose buried in a book! At times I wanted to be like one of my favorite mystery book characters and have lots of adventures instead leading an everyday ordinary life like I was...
My daughter is certain that "wishes come true." Therefore, she expects a pony!
I lived in my books and wanted to sail on a big ship with tall sails around the world. My grandsons would love this book.
My dreams were always to be a famous singer and actress
My big dream was to build a secret garden and charge visitors to get in. I dug a lot of holes, god bless my parents, but never got my garden. :)

I wanted to be a photojournalist...yeah I know, strange for a kid.
My son is fascinated with Ambulances and wants to be a paramedic.
My daughter is begging for a ride on a unicorn, and won't take NO for an answer!
When I was young, I wanted to be a marine biologist and work at sea world. Funny then, that my daughter wants to work in art graphics and work for disney!!
I wanted to be an actress, grew up when it was all glamour and glitz.
this book looks awesome. I have 2 little guys and they would probably try to fly off something reading this book. They have great imaginations. I used to dream that I would be swept off my feet with a prince on a great white horse. I kinda got that now that I think about it. I would love to win this.

My big dream when I was a kid was to be magical. I would think about that constantly and wish I could do magic. I loved Bewitched. I always wanted to be her!
When I was little I loved Pippi Longstocking and I wanted to be just like her. I wanted to be able to lift a horse above my head like her. I wanted a monkey like she had. And have a tree I could hide in that had lemonade in it.

Cute, cute book! I always dreamed of being a veternarian. That somehow changed.. I ended up becoming an RN, quit after a year to stay home with my precious children. I love my life!
I was forever turning books into plays and having my sister & the neighborhood kids reading the parts...I always dreamed of going to New York to be an actress...guess that didn't happen!

I dreamed that I would be an Olympic ski jumper. Sadly, my fear of heights interfered with that dream, but I do enjoy skiing...as long as the skis stay on the snow.

I wanted to fly around on a magic carpet and find the elusive genie in the bottle.
I had dreams of having children when I grew up. I have two wonderful sons. Dreams can come true if you believe in them enough.

but now there are new ones!
I want TO win
big big dream, that the New York Jets would make the Super Bowl ever again, nearly 40 years later, it remains my big big dream!
I still remember (and have the scars to show it) when my Red Flyer flew down Richmond Hill Road during the summer of 1953.

Big dreams? That included being a princess and a gymnast...in that order.
I wanted to go away to NeverNeverLand with Peter Pan. I wished that every single chance I could.
I dreamed of seeing the (entire) world - still do! My daughter dreams of owning many, many cats, dogs and other animals when she grows up.
That's a darling book. My daughter wants to be an artist, or a famous soccer player. The other one wants to be a dancer or a zoo keeper. They are keeping their options open and their dreams alive.
i dreamed of being a genie :)
when I was a kid I wanted to grow up to be a mommy and I did it
