Read aloud to my 11 month old. It’s about a rip off of the Cars movie.

[Mary · Rating 3 out of 5]

A bright and colorful rhyming board book about a little red car that begins the day with a race and ends the day going to sleep. The rhymes are set to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star; the anthropomorphic illustrations are adorable. A small and sturdy board book that will be enjoyed by little ones who love books about cars.

Cute except that I can't tell where one part of the song starts and where the rest ends. I think that's just the rhythm of the song though. Interesting. Still, I like the shiny reflective mirrors, and the illustrations are cute.

A book to sing along with and embrace your little one’s enthusiasm for race cars, while getting them to put their passions toward bedtime.

Apparently 6 and 7 month old Leo liked it enough to read it a few times. 16 month old Leo didn't like it enough to finish it once.
