With her mechanical skills and determination, Acee enters the annual ATV (all-terrain) race with her cat Bub. For those unfamiliar with ATVs, it's a vehicle with specialized treads and/or wheels that allows it to travel on off-road terrain: rocks, snow, and other difficult terrains. It's the ideal vehicle for this particular race, which was happening in the Rocky Mountains.
Before race day, Acee and her sidekick kitty had to ensure the vehicle was in tip-top shape. Children will be in awe of Acee's mechanical skills. As a parent, I would tell young listeners that they should never handle hazardous materials without adult supervision. I mention this because Acee was handling a gasoline can in a working collage.
While I know this is a work of fiction, I think the illustrator (Drew Rose) should've had Acee wearing a helmet when she was testing out the four-wheeler. Again, safety first! During the big race, she was wearing a helmet and so were the other racers, including her riding companion, her cat Bub. Oh my goodness, Bub was adorable in his little purple helmet!
As the big race starts, the excitement heats up. Through mud, water, and rock, Acee and Bub face every obstacle head-on. During several points, Bub was literally hanging on for dear life as Acee climbed higher and higher up the trail. Many tense moments might have you and your listener on the edge of your seat.
As each racer finishes, the suspense only intensifies. Acee and Bub cross the finish line but is their time good enough to have them win the race? You'll have to read Racee Acee's ATV Race and find out for yourself.
I concur with Amazon's recommended reading age of 4 - 8 years, grade level: kindergarten - 3. Even though this is the suggested age bracket, your toddler will love the bright colors, and all the animals featured.
