"Newbery Honor author Lord's picture-book debut is a rollicking, roaring read. Anderson's fluffy, jaunty illustrations are as full of energy as the rhymes." —Kirkus Reviews
"The action builds up even before the engines start, and young readers will love helping the irrepressible hamster build his dream car."—School Library Journal
"Junior racing fans will get a vicarious thrill with this story of a tiny driver who dares to burn rubber with the big boys."—Booklist
