Mini Racer 

by Kristin Dempsey

Summary: Animals in a variety of fanciful vehicles, including a snail on a skateboard and rabbits in a carrot-car, race over a difficult course with a suspenseful and surprising outcome.

This exciting story is a twist on the Tortoise and the Hare tale. The humorous and rhythmic text makes this book a great read aloud.
