Molly loves cars. And as soon as her big brother, Kevin, leaves the room, she's ready to play with his cars. The red cars vroom! The blue cars crash! And the yellow cars beep! And readers learn to recognize patterns, one of the earliest and most essential math skills. Stuart J. Murphy and Chris Demarest make learning this skill a joy for every child who loves cars.

Like all Murphy's MathStart titles, this lively picture book uses a story from a child's daily world to teach a basic math skill. Here the math is pattern recognition... At the back are practical suggestions for adults and kids to find patterns with pebbles, buttons, coins, and kitchen utensils. Demarest's clear, simple pastel pictures express the fun of playing with cars as the vrooming action reveals the patterns in everyday things.ALA Booklist
