In this exuberant rhyming read-aloud, an adorable ATV named Frankie takes a spin with his friends through a muddy racecourse, headed straight for first place! Or... is he?

Air horn blows, tires spin. All Frankie wants to do is WIN!

Frankie the ATV loves to zoom up rocky hills and down bumpy ramps with the other four-wheelers. Today Frankie's friend Pipsqueak is racing for the first time! The off-road course is mucky, but Frankie and Pip won't let a few squishy bogs stop them. Not far from the finish line, though, Pip gets bad-luck STUCK. Will Frankie stop to help a friend when victory is in sight?

This high-energy rhyming read-aloud will bring values and VROOMS to any story time.
