RACE CAR DREAMS Written by Sharon Criscoe
Illustrated by Dave Mottram
Publisher: Running Press Kids, 2016
Editor: Marlo Scrimizzi
SUMMARY: After a day zooming around the racetrack, a race car becomes tired and after his bedtime rituals, falls asleep and dreams.
SNIPPET:
The zooming has stopped.
The sun's almost set. A race car is tired.
He's wringing with sweat.
His day has been filled with high octane fun...
Had I not signed up for a Tuesday blog post for this book, I would have featured this delightful book on a"Perfect Picture Book Friday." It truly is a perfect book. The illustrations are active, vivid and cute, and the text is active, engaging and just fun rhyme to read and hear.
Sharon Chriscoe cleverly creates parallels between the race car turning in for the night and the bedtime of a child. Dave Mottram cleverly colors his scenes with hues that allude to sleep and dreams. While Running Kids Press is a newer and smaller publisher, it has done an outstanding job with the production of this beautiful book. I look forward to seeing more books from this author, illustrator and publisher!

All considered, Race Car Dreams is a great book for both boys and girls to enjoy as they finish their day's race and wind down in preparation for dream-time.
