A Level B I Like to Read book about cars, colors, and funny animals!

The rhino loves his red car . . . which just happens to have a rhino-horn hood ornament. And the alligator loves her green car that has sharp teeth and spikes just like hers! The shark's car has a fin and a tail.

"Even struggling readers will be challenged to find anything at all difficult in this latest entry in the I Like to Read series. . . . this book is bound to please beginning readers with automotive fixations"—Kirkus Reviews
 
"Picture books about cars and trucks abound, but this one has several things going for it: a brief, cohesive text along with clear, colorful illustrations and a sense of fun. These qualities make it just right for the youngest car-loving children."—Booklist
