Review Quotes

The little red car at the center of this story/song has a full day ahead. First, it races fellow things-that-go digger and tow truck... a good time is had by all. Post-race, the little car sets off for home, and stops for a night wash before plugging in its battery to recharge for the next day. Told in rhyming verse to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," the plot is simple and geared toward the littlest of vehicle fans. Children will need three rounds of the tune to get through everything that happens before bedtime, but they won't mind...and the personified vehicles will appeal to Disney's "Cars" fans. VERDICT A recommended title for collections catering to the vehicle obsessed.-- "School Library Journal"

"Katz's twist on the popular nursery rhyme invites children to wind down after a busy day as the car is washed and its grill scrubbed-activities that parallel little readers' own bedtime routines. Taylor's colorful illustrations of downright adorable, anthropomorphic vehicles, which evoke the Pixar Cars franchise, are engaging and complement the text-the image of the little red car tucked in, snoozing away, is especially endearing. Sure to help get the jammie-clad set get ready for bed."-- "Kirkus Reviews"
