Little Blue Truck and Toad are out for a ride when a flashy red race car zooms past. Racer Red challenges Little Blue Truck to a race, and though hesitant at first, Blue soon discovers it can be fun to try. After the race, Blue introduces Racer Red to his animal friends and the simple joys of a slower, friendlier pace of life.

Another delightful addition to the Little Blue Truck series, with playful rhyming text and vibrant illustrations.
