Soapbox Racer Fun!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This is a winner right from the frontispiece, which shows a wonderfully complex map of Busytown, author Richard Scarry's home for imagination and fun. Huckle and Lowly (looks like a cat and a turtle, I believe) are BUSY making their homemade soapbox derby style racer for the big Busytown race. Sally (another cat) offers for help are declined: "Poor Sally. Nobody wants her help." However, after the boys crash the racer, Sally, with the help of Mr. Fixit (a fox with a tow truck) repairs it with an old wheel, some wooden boards, an old hospital bed, and a trumpet! The pictures are bright and cheerful and printed on quality paper. There are usually two pictures per page, which adds to the action (especially once the race begins!). A fun book also that encourages kids to include others in their play.
A good first-time racers guide.

An excellent book aimed at the first-time racer. Richard goes through the common problems associated with putting your first race vehicle onto the road/track. Insights into some of the more esoteric tricks used by the professionals will amuse young and old alike.
