Start Your Engines!: A Countdown Book

(4) PS "10 toads tune the turbo. / 9 night owls need some oil. / 8 elephants edge in together." Wacky cartoon animals prepare for the big race in this counting book. At "GO!" they careen madly around a track in a four-page foldout spread. Disappointingly, the end falls flat when a page turn reveals a child playing with toy cars ("And the winner is...YOU!"), but the vivid colors and comic effects of most of the illustrations are a winning combination.
