A noisy journey through the nighttime firmament. As the book opens, readers see a little car zooming out of the garage of a house and flying up into the starry sky. Using the familiar singsong rhyming couplets of the widely known early-19th-century English lullaby "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," the text tells of various celestial bodies who are kept awake by the car's rambunctious flight. The "loud beep" of the airborne car's horn and the "VROOM VROOMM" of its engine disturb the stars, moon, and even the planet Mars, all of whom are anthropomorphized, just as the car subtly is. Having irked them all, the car eventually tires of its outer-space jaunt and flies back home, where a peaceful night's sleep awaits. On the cover and throughout the book, the car's body is made of shiny orange crinkle material that sparkles like the star that is the central image of the original lullaby. This tactile element not only gives the illustrations a more multidimensional look, but also provides an opportunity for tots to expand their senses. The simple digital illustrations are serviceable, with spare details. The book has an invitingly small trim size--smaller than most board books--which suits its little protagonist. Readers can expect the sturdy pages to stand up to wear and tear. A nice enough reimagining of a popular childhood song. (Novelty board book. 0-3)COPYRIGHT(2022) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Baby-Toddler-This new twist on the classic "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" will appeal to readers everywhere! "Crinkle, crinkle, little car, Like a noisy shooting star. Your rocket engine goes VROOM VROOM! Now you've woken up the Moon." The conciseness of the text and the ability to sing it makes it spot-on appropriate for babies and toddlers. A crinkly interactive panel is included on each page. VERDICT A supplemental purchase, but sure to be popular.-Brooke Newberry
