Race Car Dreams by Sharon Chriscoe
4.0
A race car finishes his race and gets ready for bed in this adorable rhyming bedtime story. Going through his nighttime rituals: he washes his rims, fills his tummy with oil, and heads to the library for a book to snuggle down with for the night. It's a story that's just perfect for bedtime, as my 4 year-old will gladly attest to; it's entered our nightly reading routine, and the gentle rhyme and bright but subdued, kid-friendly art is a lovely transition from go-go-go running around all day to slowing down and getting ready for bed.
The endpapers bring us into and lead us out of the story with black and white checkered flag; in auto racing, it's the checkered flag that waves when the winner has crossed the finish line; it's a fun fact to add to a storytime and it adds both to the beginning and end settings for the story.
Cars fans, racing fans, boys and girls alike will enjoy this sweet bedtime story. I love that the race car snuggled down on its own with a good book, showing that while snuggle time with Mom or Dad is great, you can also be perfectly content to cuddle up with a night time read all on your own.
Is your little one a fan of "just one more book" at bedtime like mine is? Add Sherri Duskey Rinker's Steam Train, Dream Train to the reading rotation for another rhyming dream story.
