Childrens story book about a Jeep?
Gi'day Group.
When I was a kid in primary school, I remember reading a series of books about Jeeps. The story is about a young Boy who stays at the grandparents farm and when exploring he came across an abandoned barn/farm. Inside the barn was an old Jeep which he got running and drove around. The next book dealt with owner showing up and he then tried to buy it. Anyone know of this story. I like to find out so as to get a copy for my nephew. Almost considering calling the librarian at the school. But Jeepers I haven't been in that school in almost a century :-) |

Not the one you are looking for, but I have a book for my kids called "Sheep
in a Jeep" by Nancy E Shaw.

I think I read the same book when I was an early teen. I remember
thinking that it would be really cool to stumble onto an old Jeep, get it running and driving it around. I remember the title being 'Year of the Jeep'. After searching google, I came up with Keith Robertson as the author (IBSN 0670793582 April 1968). I really enjoyed that book. I guess I was a Jeeper way back then and never realized it. |

Hey Cool
Not sure if that's the same story though. I seem to recall it was 2 books. The first one was at the grandparents finding the barn with the old jeep in it, Then fixing it up and driving it around a couple of times then he went back home at the end of summer. The next book was when he went back the next year and the jeep was still there except the owner showed up and was about to auction everything. where he tried to raise money to buy it. I distinctly remember the anxiety when he almost didn't get it at the auction. Does this ring any bells in "The year of the Jeep" JeePenn wrote: > I think I read the same book when I was an early teen.
