FROM THE CRITICS
Publishers Weekly
Rubber Neckers Jr.: Fun for Backseat Travelers by Mark and Matthew Lore, illus. by Robert Zimmerman, offers a boxed deck of laminated cards, each illustrated with simple items players might spot while on the road, from a convertible to a barn to a tunnel, and including concepts such as colors and numbers. Adults deal out the cards, and players receive one point for each object sighted; dealer determines the target of winning points. Two "share the road" cards ask players to interact with passengers in other vehicles. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
