In the zaniest motorbike race ever, twenty-six memorable characters, including Freddie on his Fireblade, Gina on her Guzzi and Harry on his Harley, compete in a madcap dash to win the gold cup. Each page highlights one letter of the alphabet – from Andy’s Agusta to Zac’s Zephyr – so it’s a dash through the alphabet too. Superb cartoons and rollicking, rhyming words in this distinctive A-Z book are sure to delight preschoolers, very young readers and older reluctant readers.
In this strikingly illustrated book, readers meet a kaleidoscopic cast of characters – some daring, some mischievous, some outrageous, but all loveable. Each is paired with a fantastic motorbike, from a 1904 classic to the latest rubber-burning sports bike, drawn in vivid detail. The characters plot, prepare and push their way to the starting line for a ‘Cool and Classic’ race around a winding farm track.
On each page, the story unfolds through four lines of verse, with alliteration, rhyme and rhythm designed to make reading aloud a memorable pleasure. Preschoolers will love having Kazoom read to them at bedtime. Young readers will thrill to the language and the cartoons as they read the book themselves. And slightly older readers, particularly those boys who are sometimes reluctant to pick up books, are sure to be drawn in by the colour and excitement of the wonderful world of motorbikes.
