Faster! Faster!
Author(s): Leslie Patricelli
Hang on tight for more comic joy in this companion to the "Boston Globe"-"Horn Book" Honor winner "Higher! Higher!" A day at the park. A ride on Daddy's back. Run, Daddy! Faster! Faster! How fast can Daddy go? Faster than a dog? A horse? How about a cheetah? Must his feet even touch the ground? Leslie Patricelli reprises the duo from "Higher! Higher!" in another humorous riff on a favorite pastime -- a laugh-out-loud-funny tale of few words about doting dads and high-energy kids whose imaginations know no bounds.

The boldly colored, uncluttered pictures with minimal backgrounds are perfect for preschoolers, and the repetitive text is tailor-made for the very young. An absolute delight.
