Wheels on the Race Car

Awesome book. My 2 year loves it and he keeps switching back to the front of the book to look at all the signs for the different motions. Very fun book. Recommended!

I agree with all of the praise that others have given for this book: great pictures, fun verses, etc. An added feature is also the way it can be used with children working on improving speech skills. I work in early childhood special education and serve many children who receive speech therapy. The verses in the book have sounds in them that are common ones the children I see are working to produce/practice: z & p("zizz", "zip"), g ("glug", "go"), v & m ("vroom"). With the familiar tune to sing along with this is a fun way to work on speech skills-for every child.

I was at Lime Rock Racetrack in Connecticut in May 2005 and saw this car on the seat of a sportscar people were oogling. Extremely curious of the book - I found the car owner, had him open the car and read the book. I was in love - my students, who design racecars and a racetrack in my art class would love it, so I came home and ordered it!!! My 2 year old niece gets a kick out of the sing/song and adores the illustrations - which my students find all the dual meanings to! I just met the author at another Lime Rock race and bought 2 more books - ENJOY!!!

The Wheels on the Race Car has been a huge hit with the kids I've given it to (their parents love it too). You can read it, you can sing it, the illustrations are fabulous - highly recommended for ages 6 months on up.

I just bought this book Saturday at the book store and when I started to read through it, it was just too cute & I had to buy it. On Monday, I read it to my Preschool class (4-5 year olds) and they LOVED IT! It's easy for them to follow along and they where chiming in as I read it. Also they caught on to the pattern and would say the words before I read them. I also taught them the hand motions too. They kept singing it later. If your child(ren) love to sing "Wheels on the Bus" then will love this book.
