Floor It! - by Bex Tobin Fine (Hardcover)

About the Book

"Like a racecar driver in a race, Baby zooms from room to room and crawls all over the place"--

Book Synopsis

Start your engines as Baby zooms around the house like a race car driver, turning an ordinary living room into an exhilarating race course! This whimsical picture book brings the thrill of crawling to life from a baby's unique perspective.

They honk their horn and start to zoom.
Baby's on the move: Vroom vroom!

Baby is on a quest to get to the other side of the room (aka very far away) all on their own. While the floor may not be so interesting to parents and big siblings, for Baby, it is an entire world full of fascinating things to explore. Seen from their perspective, a fluffy rug becomes tickly grass, a sibling doing yoga turns into a bridge, and a table and chairs transform into a dense forest.

But with so many obstacles, will Baby make it to the finish line?

This bold, fun, and original picture book is sure to capture the imagination of car-obsessed little ones, and the bouncy rhyming text kicks the reading experience into high gear. So hold onto your checkered flags, because this race is only just beginning...
