Book Descriptions
for Toot Toot Zoom! by Phyllis Root and Matthew Cordell
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
We all know why the bear went over the mountain, but it’s unclear what Pierre, a beret-wearing fox, will see when he journeys up and over the mountain in his red sport coupe. Lonely in his little house, he hopes to find a friend on the other side of the peak. Pierre zips through zigzag hairpin turns, beeping a “TOOT! TOOT!” warning before turning tight corners, but he screeches to a halt when he nearly hits a wandering goat. Inviting Goat to come along on his quest, the pair whiz along until a sheep crosses their path. This stop-and-go story is slightly predictable, but Pierre’s road trip is a fun read-aloud reminder that friends can be found wherever you look. (Ages 3–7)
