Vroom, Zoom, Bud

(4) K-3 Penguin Young Readers series. Illustrated by Cale Atkinson. A car named Bud enters a race with some other cars, all cheerfully illustrated. Bud gets distracted playing in a mud puddle. He refocuses, finishes the race, loses, and displays good sportsmanship: "I vroomed. / I zoomed. / I went fast. / And someone had / to come in last." The rhyming text occasionally sputters, but Bud is a winning character.
