They take a fantasy ride past farms (cackle lackle), through woods (whoo whoo), to the sea (splash dash wave crash). âAre you ready for sleep?â asks Daddy. âNot yet. Keep driving,â says Carmela. So on they go by swamps, over streams, around waterfalls, forward, backward, sideways, and around in circles. Finally, Carmelaâs eyes close. She must be ready to sleep. âNot yet, Daddy. Keep driving.â Vroomaloom zoomaloom vrroom vrroom. With its inventive use of language and irresistible refrain, this send-up of a familiar family problem will tickle the fancies of parents and children.
