About the Author:
From Booklist:
Tony Mitton is a widely anthologized children's poet, as well as a teacher and performing poet. His Royal Raps won the 1997 Nottinghamshire Libraries/Dillons Children's Book Award. His recent collection of poetry, Plum, won the Publishers Weekly 2003 Cuffies Award for Best Book of Poetry. Tony teamed with illustrator Ant Parker on several books, including Dazzling Diggers, Roaring Rockets, and Terrific Trains.
Ant Parker studied drawing and printing at the Bath Academy of Art in England and has taught papermaking, printing and bookbinding workshops for children. Toddlers and parents around the globe have discovered the irresistible appeal of his wacky cartoon characters in Flashing Fire Engines, Terrific Trains, Dazzling Diggers, and Roaring Rockets. Other titles include Charlie the Chicken and Desmond the Dog.
PreS-K. From the Amazing Machines series, this picture book features a rhyming, rhythmic text and pictures of many different kinds of autos: family cars, convertibles, police cars, race cars, and taxis. Dressed animals drive their colorful cars (no silver, black, or beige here) through the streets of a cozy city, stopping to fill their tanks with gasoline and go through the carwash. On the last page, a cutaway drawing points out six parts of a car, from engine to trunk. Washed with clear, bright colors, the simple ink drawings define a friendly world that children may want to revisit long after their parents have tired of the rather pedestrian verse. With a particularly appealing jacket, this picture book will find a willing audience of preschool drivers-to-be. Carolyn Phelan
