A brand-new racing themed countdown picture book series from
the bestselling author of Dinosaurs in the Supermarket, Timothy Knapman.
VROOM, VROOM!
The race is about to begin.
Time to pick a whizzy racer.
Who do you want to win?
The countdown has begun . . . it’s time to join ten whizzy racers for some super-fast fun as they zoom through Fairytale Forest competing to win the glittering Beanstalk cup. Watch out as the racers avoid the temptation of gingerbread forests, pass through the scarily named Troll booth and dodge angry fairies in Magical Meadow on their quest to be number one. Choose your whizzy racer, start your engine and follow the race in this high energy adventure to find out who lifts the cup in a nail-biting finish.
With bouncy rhyming text from Timothy Knapman and vibrant illustrations from Richard Merritt, this collectible picture book series will bring fun and laughter to children who love cars and counting. Includes ten character profiles and a Fairytale Forest map that young readers will enjoy immersing themselves in as they race through the book. A funny, rollicking read that children will love, and parents will enjoy sharing and reading aloud.
Next book in the series Ten Whizzy Racers: Frosty Falls Frenzy is publishing September 2025.
