On the right side of the image, Girl is kneeling on a sidewalk, leaning forward with a wistful expression as she plays with a small toy bike on the ground, next to a potted plant with yellow flowers. In the centre-left background, Dad rides a full-sized bicycle along a road past a suburban yard with green plants, wearing his red baseball cap and light blue polo shirt, looking calm and focused as he heads off. Above, a thought bubble from Girl shows her imagining herself riding a real bike alongside a scooter, with a determined, hopeful expression.

Dad is on a big bike. He rides off on the path. 'Dad! Dad!' Eve calls. Eve has just a small bike. It is not fast at all. 'I can get to Dad,' says Eve. 'I just need a fast ride.'

On the left side of the image, Girl sits on a light blue scooter riding along a suburban road toward the viewer, wearing a light blue helmet, with a happy and confident smile as she grips the handlebars, her dark ponytail trailing behind her. At the far left edge, the front of a blue car is partially visible, its headlight facing the viewer as it travels alongside her. The scene is set outdoors on a daytime road with dashed lane markings, lined with green grass and soft bushes and trees in the background, with the right side of the image fading into a soft, misty open background.

Eve zips off on a ride. She grips it and smiles wide. The wind whips past! But Eve wants to go fast, fast, fast. 'I need a ride with a hum and a rev,' says Eve.

On the right side of the image, Girl is sitting in the driver's seat of a yellow car, gripping the steering wheel with both hands and looking out the window with a curious, excited expression. She is wearing a seatbelt and gazing toward a green bus visible through the car window. The left side of the image is plain warm yellow background. The scene has a bright, daytime feel with a sense of imaginative play as Girl pretends to drive.

Eve drives a ride. She snaps on a belt. Vroom! Then a big bus pulls up next to Eve. Eve gazes at it. 'Yes!' she says. 'I like that bus!'

Girl is sitting in the driver's seat of a green bus on the left side of the image, gripping the steering wheel with a focused expression as she drives along a road. The arm and bucket of an orange digger are visible at the roadside, indicating a roadworks zone. The background shows a tree line and blue sky with light clouds. The right ~40% of the image is open sky, suitable for text overlay.

Eve drives the big bus. Honk, honk! She sits up tall and smiles. Then Eve spots a big digger by the path. She stops the bus. 'That looks like fun,' says Eve.

On the right side of the image, Girl sits inside the cab of a large orange digger (excavator), gripping the controls with a determined expression as she drives it across a green grassy field toward the water's edge. In the centre-background, Man rides a jet ski on the water, looking back toward the digger with an impressed expression and shouting encouragement. The outdoor scene shows a bright, sunny day with blue sky, a wide body of water, and a tree-lined far shore.

Eve drives the digger on the grass. Chunk, chunk, chunk! But it can not go fast. A man on a jet ski waves at Eve. 'Swap with me!' yells the man. 'Yes!' yells Eve. 'It is a trade!'

In the lower half of the image, Girl is kneeling on a yellow and pink jet ski, gripping the handlebars with both hands and leaning forward with a determined expression as she speeds across open water. She is wearing a life vest. A white and blue motorboat sits in the water ahead of her, and Girl is racing toward it. The top half of the image is plain blue sky with light clouds, and the scene is set outdoors on a bright, sunny day on a calm lake or bay.

Eve rides the jet ski on the waves. Splash! It is so fast, and Eve grins. Then she spots a fast ride. 'That is my next ride,' says Eve.

On the left side of the image, Girl stands at the helm of a white-and-blue speedboat, shown from a three-quarter angle, with a determined pose as she steers through choppy ocean waves, one hand raised toward the dashboard controls. She is heading toward a large ship visible in the upper-left distance, with birds flying overhead against a bright daytime sky. The right side of the image is open water and sky, providing clear space for text overlay.

Eve drives the fast ride on the waves. Crash, splash! Eve hangs on and grins. Then she spots a big ship. 'Dad is on that ship,' yells Eve. 'I can tell!'

Page 8
In the lower half of the image, Girl and Dad stand together inside the bridge of a large ship. Girl is in front, gripping a wooden ship's wheel with both hands, smiling proudly. Dad stands directly behind her, wearing his red baseball cap and light blue polo shirt, also smiling warmly, with his hands gently resting near her shoulders in a supportive pose. The ship's bridge features metal railings, a mast with rigging, and a round porthole-style mirror. The upper half is open sky with soft clouds and a few distant seagulls, with a calm misty waterfront visible in the background.

'I made it!' yells Eve. Dad is on the ship, and he smiles at Eve. He lifts Eve up to the helm. Eve grips the helm with pride and smiles wide.

On the left side of the image, a colourful collection of different vehicles and modes of transport is arranged against a soft green-and-yellow gradient background. The vehicles include a white-and-blue speedboat and a yellow-and-pink jet ski in the upper area, a yellow car, a blue scooter, and an orange excavator in the middle row, and a large grey ship and a bright green bus along the bottom. The right ~40% of the image is plain gradient background with no objects or detail, suitable for text overlay.

Look at all the rides! A bus, a digger, a jet ski, a fast ride, and a big ship. Eve rides them all to get to Dad. What would Eve like to ride next time?
