PS
Little car Troto drives into Cactusville. He's hassled by the Big Trucks who live there; undaunted, he challenges them to a race. At first Troto falls behind, but some lucky breaks send him nimbly around, over, and through the others, earning their respect. The illustrations' bold outlines, rounded shapes, and vibrant Southwest setting combine with a snappy text in this underdog story.
