review 1: My four-year-old took to this with great joy, and has already requested repeat reads. The rhymes are great & the pictures creatively zany; however, for the adult reader-aloud, the illustrations are a constant frustration because there's no clear sequence of which car on the page goes with which line in the rhyme, and sometimes there are cars that don't seem to fit anywhere. After another 4-5 readings I will probably have settled on a pointing sequence... another idea would be to ask the child to identify which car is which, but that breaks up the rhythm of the verses. Best for the older preschooler at least, I think.
review 2: One of the best little car books I've found. The rhyming is fun, not forced at all, and the illustrations are a crack up. It's the type ... moreof book a little one could read again and again, and short enough for a grown up to read over and over without keeling over...Because of the colorful, whimsical style, and because of some of the really funny girl cars and characters, I think girls would get a kick out of this as well as any truck-loving boy... less
