"Solid, brightly colored backdrops keep the focus squarely on each individual vehicle and its driver, and Wielockx's detailed paintings will intrigue mechanically inclined readers while generating a just-competitive-enough sense of fun." - Publishers Weekly

“On your mark, get set, go!.... A fun, colorful book, with a lively pace, tone, and, topping it all off, a meaningful message.” – School Library Journal

"Young readers will love the vast array of vehicles: a jeep, a quad bike (!), a cool bus covered with flower paintings. How are these pint-sized characters driving fire trucks and planes? All is revealed on a charming, surprising final spread." - MR. BRIAN'S PICTURE BOOK BLOG"

Attention please! Is everyone ready for the race? Three … Two … One … Go!
The competitors quickly run to their vehicles. But who is the fastest one? The scooter, the fire engine or the tricycle? Or perhaps the racing bike or bus?
And who actually won?

A cool picture book with a surprise ending. For quick boys and girls ages 3 and up.

About the Author

Ruth Wielockx never imagined that she would become a writer and illustrator of children’s books. She studied Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of Leuven (Belgium) and Southampton (United Kingdom), and went on to get a degree in education. After years of teaching, Ruth realized that she really liked drawing and painting. She took this new passion and combined it with her love of children’s books to begin a very successful career as an author and illustrator.
