Now in board book! Race car 1 honks look at me! He zooms in front with the turn of a key. Race car 2 is close behind. The sound of "vroom" is on his mind. The simple, rhyming text is perfect for reinforcing counting with young children, and the vibrant, energetic illustrations of ten cars-all with different personalities-make this a terrific board book package for young vehicle enthusiasts.
