Taxi, Go!

Picture Storybooks
Cabs are resting in a line. Wake up, Taxi. Rise and shine!
It’s the day in the life of a busy taxi cab! There are plenty of passengers to pick up, and they all need a ride – to a football game, a play, a business meeting, an airport and more. Whizzing left, right and through the traffic, Taxi takes on the town and navigates everything the road throws at him. Taxi … stop! Now, Taxi … GO!
With energy and exuberance, Patricia Toht and Maria Karipidou create a detail-rich and happy world that vehicle-loving children will adore.
