Review Quotes: Short rhyming verses on each page and several strategic page turns add drama to the narrative, but soft, mottled effects in the otherwise colorful illustrations keep the competition from becoming too intense...A friendship tale with solid messaging and plenty of fun sounds to share. - Kirkus Reviews Publisher Marketing: The #1 bestselling Little Blue Truck meets a zippy red race car with a need for speed. Little Blue Truck and good friend Toad are out for a drive when a flash of red whizzes by--then whizzes back to stop and say hi. Sleek and low, Racer Red is made for speed and loves to go fast! When she challenges Blue to a race, Blue knows that win or lose, it's fun to try! Beep! Beep! Zooooom! Review Citations:
