Sandy (thelittlepaperbackbooks) | 26 comments Hey! I'd be glad if anyone clarified this little thing for me... I've checked my shelves and found that I have a book with Trains on its cover page. Would that work for "Take a Road Trip Day"? Trains are not vehicles of the road but still of the land so I was wondering if I could choose that book. I don't have other unread books with vehicles on them except this, hence asking! Thanks in advance.
