Buster's Trip to Victory Lane (Buster the Race Car)

Description:

Will it be A-OK on race day, or will Buster’s anxious, nervous rumblies keep him from victory?

When Coach Hog rescues Buster from a failed racing team, Buster has to figure out how to race with new teammates, learn to keep going even after he makes mistakes, and try with all his might to make it to the finish line before all the other cars! But can Buster navigate his anxiety before race day?

Roaring with bright and energetic illustrations, NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s debut picture book encourages kids that they can overcome any obstacle on the track, finish that final lap, and make a few friends along the way!

Buster's Trip to Victory Lane:

  • is ideal for car-crazy kids ages 4 to 8, Dale Earnhardt Jr. fans, and followers of NASCAR and racing
  • teaches kids perseverance whether they are starting something new, are struggling to learn a difficult skill, or need motivation to keep trying when life is tough
  • is a great read-aloud for story time at home, libraries, and schools
  • has a brightly foiled jacket and full-color pictures
  • is a perfect choice for birthday parties, for car rides and road trips, as a Christmas stocking stuffer or present, or as a central feature in a gift basket


Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2—The opening pages begin with a fun introduction to Punchy Motorsports and its team of colorful race cars. The team itself features leader Coach Hog, veteran racer Jimmy Jam, stylish Click, and newcomer and title character Buster. Each car is accompanied by short background on the characters. Earnhardt's story then begins with an uneasy Buster, who frequently feels anxious—be it about racing or making friends—and finds himself constantly worrying about "messing up" and letting down the team. Jimmy Jam offers wise advice, stating that "our mistakes help shape us" and that it is okay to have setbacks as long as you keep trying. Following the pep talk and some additional support from Click, Buster prepares for the big race against the rival team, but on the day of the race, nothing goes Buster's way as he quickly finds himself crashing into the wall. Jimmy Jam gets caught in his own crash, and Click finds herself with only three working tires. It is up to Buster to get one of the cars from Punchy Motorsports across the finish line first. This picture book is perfect for any lover of race cars, as colorful as it is entertaining in Smietanka's charming illustrations; these look as though they were drawn carefully with bright crayons, a detail that will surely catch young readers' eyes. The language is fun, with some subtle wordplay thrown in. VERDICT A fine read-aloud for elementary school settings, with a lot of race track action and bonus SEL lessons in perseverance, helping others, and working through anxiety.—Kerra Mazzariello

This is a Children's book that I read to my twin boys, and they loved this book so much. I loved the teamwork message that was in this book. I found the pictures super cute, and the story itself was well written with a great message. I have since brought a copy of this book. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
