Race Car Dreams

After a day of zipping and zooming, a race car is tired and ready for bed. As his lights blink on and he rolls off the track, he heads for the Tickle-and-Wash for a bath, the Guzzle-and-Gulp for a nightcap, and the Speedy-Reads Library for a bedtime story . . . and soon the race car will be dreaming sweet dreams of winning the race!

Car fans young and old will delight in this imaginative book of how a race car prepares for bed. Sharon Chriscoe’s irresistibly clever and gentle rhyming verse and Dave Mottram’s illustrations fueled with animated expressions and charming details of all things found at the race track, are sure entertain and spread joy at bedtime.

Sharon Chriscoe may not vroom around a race track, but she does zip and zoom around in a bread truck with her husband, Ricky. Fueled with fresh bread, snacks, and writing tools, Sharon has made this her mobile office! She and her husband live in Pilot Mountain, North Carolina. They have three children and an assortment of dogs, cats, bunnies and occasionally a groundhog. Sharon is also the author ofThe Sparrow and the Trees.

Dave Mottram always wanted to be an illustrator. He drew pictures until there was no paper left, then he drew on grocery bags. Nowadays he draws on his daughter’s lunch bags and illustrates children’s books in Stow, Ohio, where he lives with his family.
