Once at nursery, Matty starts to fret about how her father will collect her if the troublesome family car won’t start. Dad soon puts Matty’s fears to rest with a series of increasingly imaginative suggestions for alternative modes of transport – from a tractor to a dragon, a polar bear to a rowing boat. But, if all else fails, he’ll come on foot… because to come and pick up Matty, Dad’s legs will never be too tired. A warm and reassuring story with bright artwork, full of retro charm.
