Critic Reviews

“Few present day illustrators convey energy with more goofy retro zeal than Bob Staake, and he puts his skill to full use in Cars Galore , a madcap paean to the improbable possibilities of the automobile. The combination of Mr Staake's off kilter drawings and Peter Stein's zippy, faintly Seussian rhymes is likely to please. --Wall Street Journal Like a revved up hybrid of Richard Scarry's Cars and Trucks From A to Z and P D Eastman's Go Dog Go , this book for those obsessed with all things automotive will also make them laugh. The rhyming text is upbeat and offbeat. --The New York Times”
