Cars Galore: 07/23/15

Cars Galore by Peter Stein

Cars Galore by Peter Stein is a picture book that celebrates all things car.

There are traditional cars and cars that seem like they belong in Richard Scary's Cars, and Trucks, and Things That Go. Then toss in a rhyming scheme that's similar to Go, Dog. Go! by P. D. Eastman or One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish by Dr. Seuss.

The book is a short, fun read. It's one with enough detail and humor to warrant a re-read or two. She and I had fun trying to match up the cars to the ones named in the text. For those extra cars, we tried to make up our own names and rhymes.

Five stars
