Today I’m a Race Car Driver by Marisa Polansky - OPTIONAL

Today I’m a Race Car Driver by Marisa Polansky, illustrated by Maxine Lee. BOARD BOOK. Farrar, Straus & Giroux (Macmillan), 2018. $8.99.  9780374304393

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K - OPTIONAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Come along with Leo as he goes about his work week as a race car driver, and find out about his crew, his gear, and what it takes to get ready for a race. 

Overall this is a nice glimpse into the world of a race car driver, explaining the steps leading up to the big race. Nice text and pictures on each page opposite the storyline for easy vocabulary learning. But it felt a little too winning-focused rather than putting in work, time and effort to do your best.
