A funny, fast, and noisy tale about finding friends where you least
expect to is the perfect vehicle for reading aloud.
Poor Pierre! He lives all alone at the foot of a mountain, and his
heart, how it longs for a friend. Perhaps if he hops in his car -- toot,
toot, zoom! -- he will find a friend on the other side of the mountain!
On the road -- SCREECH! -- he meets Goat, who kindly offers to help. And
that, says Pierre, is exactly the sort of thing his friend will do when
he finds him! Up, up they zoom, collecting an amiable Sheep and Bear
along the way. Will the car make it to the top? Will it get safely down?
Will Pierre ever find a friend? Phyllis Root's wry, cumulative story
revs readers up with BIG sound words, while Matthew Cordell's energetic
illustrations and a fun, dynamic design keep them happily strapped in
for the ride.
