A funny, fast, and noisy tale about finding friends where you least expect to is the perfect vehicle for reading aloud.Poor Pierre! He lives all alone at the foot of a mountain, and his heart, how it longs for a friend. Perhaps if he hops in his car — toot, toot, zoom! — he will fi nd a friend on the other side of the mountain! On the road — SCREECH! — he meets Goat, who kindly offers to help. And that, says Pierre, is exactly the sort of thing his friend will do when he finds him! Up, up they zoom, collecting an amiable Sheep and Bear along the way. Will the car make it to the top? Will it get safely down? Will Pierre ever find a friend? Phyllis Root’s wry, cumulative story revs readers up with BIG sound words, while Matthew Cordell's energetic illustrations and a fun, dynamic design keep them happily strapped in for the ride.

What a wonderful story- best read in accents! My son requests it from the library over and over again. We purchased it as a gift for a "library starter" type baby shower. Great author to introduce to new parents.
My two year old approves of this short tale of good deeds and nascent friendship. Buying this after library copy became bedtime reading fave. Works for four year old too, though I suspect it will not keep his attention after too many readings. Fun and not too long to read repeatedly. Sound effect practice makes perfect. Screeeeech!Writing is the star, evoking repetition and rhythm of Little Red Hen, but with a more positive approach. Instead of shirking, the new friends here help. Instead of going hungry as a consequence of laziness, these friends are rewarded for work. Good examples. Also echoes Corduroy lines "I think I've always wanted . . ."Illustrations are straightforward in a colorful curvy way, but not too simple to hold attention. Depiction of car accident made me worry about poor bear, goat, and sheep, but they are fine and my children were not as concerned as I was.
I have purchased this book for just about every little person I know! Pierre the fox sets off in his red convertible to find a friend. He learns that friends can show up when you least expect them. The story is very sweet, and I love the message of this book. The illustrations are bright, beautiful and fun. The cadences and onomatopoeia of the book make it a great read aloud, and Cordell's pictures are very engaging. Zoom on over and buy this book!
This is an adorable book! Since the moment we got this book my 2 1/2 year old has been obsessed. He wants to read it several times each day. The story about friendship is quite sweet, as well.
Love this book! We got it as a library book and liked it (our kids love to hear it and it isn't painful to read for an adult) so much that we got our own copy and also give it as gifts.
Love the book. In great condition. My daughter lives that it is easy for her to identify the words as the are fun and repetitive bits great.
love this book
