Buckle up for an exuberant ride – humming with energetic rhymes and whimsical, retro art from a masterful team.
Black car, green car, nice car, mean car. Near car, far car. Whoa! Bizarre car! Ready to hit the road? Gear up for a non-stop parade of shapes, sizes, sounds and even smells – in a wild array of cars packed with big personalities, awesome features and eccentric passengers. Driven by Peter Stein’s bouncing verse, Bob Staake’s high-powered artwork merges vibrant colour and crisp, dynamic design with humour, warmth and whimsy. This rousing excursion is sure to thrill all fans of things that go, as well as aficionados of the illustrator’s signature style.
This is one fun and funky board book! A board book version of the original release from early 2011 it is definitely one to have on hand. It fits in really well with our preschool stuff right along with the rhythm and rhyme of Go, Dog, Go! and One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish and all those other fun and ridiculously silly reads. The illustrations are definitely where the funky comes in my opinion but it is a good way. There is plenty to stare at and in our reading, my preschooler was sure to point things out on every page. I think this is one that you could read again and again and find something new each and every time.
