Starting in the 1960s, Richard Scarry set a standard for the adult world in his Busytown books. These manuals taught children what to expect when they became independent, working adults in the world outside of their homes.
We thus grew up anticipating that animals would transport themselves across town in vehicles befitting their habits and interests, such as the cheese car (really a cheese passenger van due to the number of mice that could fit within it).
It is only now, though, that the cheese car is a reality. Illustrator Jess Fink produced this lifesize toy vehicle that provides local mice with their transportation needs.

A cheese wagon seems a more appropriate name, especially if they are students.
