Vroom! Vroom!!

So when you have an almost 3 year old boy....anything with WHEELS rules!!! And really to find books that are not covered in PINK, princess crowns, and glitter are rare anymore!! Two of Adams favorite books right now are Hot Rod Hamster and Mini Racer. We bought Hot Rod some time ago but the Mini Racer book just came out and he loves to examine the pictures very, very closely after we read it. Both books contain FUN language that could be used for a variety of ages, for a variety of purposes.



Hot Rod Hamster by Cynthia Lord
Hamster needs a car, one that will "burn rubber"! Of course a racing hamster is at a disadvantage but Hot Rod is prepared for the big race. Fun, colorful illustrations compliment the fun words in the book.

Mini Racer by Kristy Dempsey
Turn to end pages, and right away you are emerged in to the "wheeled" fun. Dog, seal, rabbit, mouse, gorilla, etc are all competing in the big race and each has a specially designed car. Zooming, screeching, swerving, sliding, fun for the twelve little racers and the reader.

I am so glad you posted this. I saw it online and thought it looked cute for my friends son who loves cars. I am going to get it for him.
