This energetic board book follows Baby Driver through an action-packed day of vehicular adventure. ¬Alexander’s rhythmic text captures the excitement of imaginative play as the baby transforms everyday activities into high-speed racing s¬cenarios, from “guzzling fuel” (bottle time) to navigating living room racetracks with a loyal canine co-pilot. Goulet’s bold, graphic illustrations perfectly complement the racing theme with vivid colors, dynamic ¬motion lines, and sound effects right out of a comic book. The baby’s joy radiates from every page as mundane moments (like a diaper change) become thrilling pit stops and ¬victory laps. Celebrating the ¬boundless go-time of toddlers, who turn almost anything into an adventure, this book is just long enough: dawn to dusk. The racing metaphors work particularly well for bath time, and the satisfying conclusion brings this ¬little speedster safely home to sleep. VERDICT A peppy read for vehicle-obsessed toddlers and anyone who appreciates childhood imagination.
