From School Library Journal
PreSAA fast-paced, zip-zapping board book that begs to be read with as much gusto as possibleApreferably three or four times in a row. "Away we go!/Old cars, new cars,/ZOOM! ZOOM! ZOOM!/Big cars,/little cars,/BE-BOP,/KA-ZOOM!" The bright and busy illustrations are packed with energy. The edges blur a bit (since the cars are racing around so fast) and the pages are dotted with electric squiggles and jagged lines outlining the various cars. A whiz-bang choice for toddler collections.ALisa Gangemi Krapp, Sousa Elementary School, Port Washington, NY

From Kirkus Reviews
In the new Harper Growing Tree series (see Cummings, above), a Go Dogs, Go! for the '90s. Hurd (Art Dog, 1996, etc.) piles dogs into cars, and allows them to drive through the neon-washed streets of the city: ``Big cars, little cars, be-bop, ka-ZOOM!'' The canines honk, bop, and race until a smash-up temporarily puts them out of commission. A little tinkering in the repair shop fixes up their vehicles as good as new. This stylish, jazzy cruise is depicted in illustrations that are part cartoon, part paste-up, where vintage cars and more futuristic models have streaks of colored light and gleaming chrome to tantalize young eyes. The melange of colors and collage practically guarantees a joy ride. (Board book. 1-4) --
