Book Description
Zoom into story time!
Ready, steady, green light, go! Mini Racer won't go slow.Twelve little vehicles are lined up and ready to race. With speed bumps to jump and corners to round, who will take the lead? The winner just might surprise you. This rhyming text is filled with onomatopoeia sure to tickle the funny bones of little readers. Beep, beep! Watch out as they race to turn the pages and follow each animal's themed story. And the chase doesn't end with the last screech; little ones will beg to read it over again to discover all of the details in the art. Mini Racer is a must-have for story time!
“Bright, colorful illustrations feature bold dark lines and saucy, big-eyed characters zooming across the spreads. With a line or two on every page, this book can be used with groups, although kids with the need for speed and a love of vehicles will pore over the pictures and find details to delight on their own.” —School Library Journal, starred review
"Both preschoolers and adults will find much to explore in the bright cartoon-like illustrations. Dempsey’s rapid text helps spur readers to keep the pages turning. Full of zooming action and fender-bender drama, it has definite appeal for youngsters. A zipping-good time."—Kirkus Reviews
"Children will cheer for these brightly colored cartoon figures, somewhat reminiscent of Richard Scarry’s work, and groan as their favorites gets sidelined along the way. The lively rhyming text provides an exciting play-by play commentary."—Booklist
