For a little girl, there’s nothing better than running errands with Daddy in a trusty old blue pickup truck. When they go to the bakery, Old Blue is a restaurant. When they go to the hardware store, Old Blue is a toolshed. And when they go out to a neighboring farm, Old Blue is a barnyard! A little rain won’t stop their fun—or stop them from getting back home to Mommy safe and sound.
