Synopsis

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!

From School Library Journal:

Starred Review. PreSchool-Grade 1—An array of animals takes off in a race, ensconced in vehicles of every description, from a rainbow-wheeled wheelchair to tricked-out motorcycles and cars made of bananas, logs, carrots, or cheese. Bouncy rhymes curve along the race course as the critters speed, swerve, and careen around the serpentine country roads, encountering obstacles, crashes, and even having time for a swim. The journey is as much fun as seeing the skateboarding snail take the winner's cup for his slow, undistracted pace. 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.—Marge Loch-Wouters, La Crosse Public Library, WI
