From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 3–Not only is this picture book chock-full of lively, rhyming text and vibrant, action-packed art, but it is also rich in facts that will educate as well as entertain young readers. Mitton's easy-to-read narrative is made even more appealing by Parker's cartoon animal drivers. This altogether amusing, animated approach to the wonders of all automobiles is an appealing offering. It is sure to be a hit with the preschoolers, makes for an excellent storytime selection, and fits nicely into transportation units.

From Booklist

PreS-K. From the Amazing Machines series, this picture book features a rhyming, rhythmic text and pictures of many different kinds of autos: family cars, convertibles, police cars, race cars, and taxis. Dressed animals drive their colorful cars (no silver, black, or beige here) through the streets of a cozy city, stopping to fill their tanks with gasoline and go through the carwash. On the last page, a cutaway drawing points out six parts of a car, from engine to trunk. Washed with clear, bright colors, the simple ink drawings define a friendly world that children may want to revisit long after their parents have tired of the rather pedestrian verse. With a particularly appealing jacket, this picture book will find a willing audience of preschool drivers-to-be.
