Who is driving the fire engine? Elephant! He is driving to the fire station.Toot toot, toot toot! Who is driving the racing car? Hare! He is driving to the racing track. Vroo-oom! But who gets there first? Was it the cat? The giraffe, in her convertible? No, it's the turtle, on his little legs. A new play on the fable of the hare and the tortoise, this is a picture book for drivers of all ages. Children and adults can guess together who is best suited to which vehicle. This is a clean, colourful book filled to the brim with shiny four-wheeled cars, screeching tires. Who wants to drive?

Industry Reviews

"This is an amusing book to reread, since even the smallest details are assigned a narrative purpose. Clearly, one animal's clutter is another pig's livelihood in this buoyant, rhyming tale." New York Times (US)

"Is a good example of less is more ... Not a lot happens, but it's a perfect read-aloud book for children up to the age of about three, thanks to the repetition and all the 'chug', 'vroooom', 'brrrmmmm' and 'wheeeeee' noises you're encouraged to make" The Age (AU)

"Precisely the kind of thing that toddlers love to do. They want bright colours, they want animals, they want sounds that they can imitate and questions that they can answer ... I really like it. ... it's incredibly simple. There's lots to talk about, ... it's very clever." Kate De Goldi, National Radio New Zealand
