I thought that this book deserved an average rating. I say this because I was not really a fan of the ending on the book. The book is about a young boy who lives next to a tire shop that is owned by his father. His mother wants to move because of the overwhelming amount of tires that have consumed their personal space and the young boy is not happy about it. In the end of the book, the boy still had to move. I think that my expectation was set up for that happy ending which would allow the boy to stay in his childhood home and live happily ever after. It was a positive ending, but because it did not end the way that I had hoped, that really determined how much I liked the story. I can say that the story had very good illustrations! It was very easy to visually imagine the story with such detailed pictures. The central message of the story was that we can turn things that may seem negative to us into a positive thing. In the story, the young boy was told that he could not take any tires to his new house, so he used some of the tired from his dad's shop to build a beautiful and creative playground for the children in the neighborhood!
