I Won, written and illustrated by Ruth Wielockx. This fast-paced import (translated from the Dutch) shows a bunch of girls and boys engaged in one wild race, driving a wide variety of vehicles. Just when one kid pulls ahead in, say, a tricycle, another child zooms past on a scooter. Young readers will love the vast array of vehicles: a jeep, a quad bike (!), a cool bus covered with flower paintings. I love the design of this book: the vibrant illustrations pop off the page, the name of each new vehicle is in bold letters, and each spread has a solid, bright backdrop. Those familiar with my blog know that I love surprise endings, and this title has a great one. How are these pint-sized characters driving fire trucks and planes? All is revealed on a charming, surprising final spread.
