Finally, an excuse to practice car noises

Young children just tumbling to the delights of language, and parents who know the struggles of trying to get children to sleep, ought to enjoy John Coy's ``Vroomaloom Zoom.'' This short, colorful reader involves Carmela, a young girl, and her father who set out for a fanciful drive in the car. Dad wears a leather cap and goggles and urges his daughter to bring along her blanket in case she falls asleep. As they drive past chicken farms, to the sea and through alligator-infested swamps, rhyming all the way, Dad can never quite Carmela to drop off to sleep. Even so, this ought to be a good bedtime read -- one that parents and kids can read together and aloud. The language begs to be spoken and the illustrations are colorful and fun.
