Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Car

PreS—A little red car wants to keep driving instead of going to bed. He cruises around to say goodnight to other vehicles. The little car meets tractors, an airplane, a fire engine and others during his nighttime adventure. This book is a great bedtime read-aloud. The narrative's rhyming structure can be read to the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star." Vehicular sounds are sprinkled throughout, adding another fun and educational element to the text. The car's large round eyes are a focal point, and all of the vehicles sport notably cheerful expressions. The clever use of light is also noteworthy. Light coming from the vehicles is heavily emphasized with bright triangular shapes, adding a vibrant visual element to the dark night sky. The illustrations are done with combinations of geometric shapes. They also feature an abundance of primary colors. These bright colors pop against the book's dark nighttime background.
