May 2015 Book of the Month The creators of bestsellers How to Grow a Dinosaur and How to Catch a Dragon have produced another winner. A trip through the car wash magically transports Albie onto the starting line of a monster car race (that’s a race in which the cars are driven by monsters)! Meanie Maxamillion is cheating in his monster truck so Albie kindly picks up a couple of stranded drivers and his teamwork leads to an outright win. Children will be caught up completely in the story, and there are lots of chances to join in with sound effects and responses. Story, pace and tone are spot on for the audience, and the bright, friendly illustrations make this virtually irresistible. ~ Andrea Reece
Albie loves playing with his toy cars so when he finds himself in the middle of a monster grand prix, he knows exactly what to do!
Another fantastically fun story from the bestselling team, Caryl Hart and Ed Eaves.
The sixth title in the popular Albie series, following up from Supermarket Zoo, How to Grow a Dinosaur, Welcome to Alien School, Plunge into the Pirate Pool and How to Catch a Dragon.
“A pre-school crowd pleaser with a dinosaur battle to boot.” The Bookseller
“Full of fun and packed with bold colourful pictures, this action-packed story will really appeal to children and is a great way to extend their imaginations.” Parents in Touch
