I'm Fast! (Kate and Jim Mcmullan) Hardcover – Picture Book, January 3, 2012

A race car and train have a race! My daughter loves this story!

My child loves this book and the other books in the series about vehicles. I'm Brave is educational, has a highly distinctive style, and is fun to read.Although there are common elements in I Stink!, I'm Dirty!, I'm Brave!, and I'm Fast!, each book has a slightly different structure and a different way of introducing the educational bits: an alphabet of items in the garbage; a countdown of junk to scoop up; a list of words to match to fire-fighting tools; and the names of railroad cars. The authors present something new in each book without breaking the general pattern.I'm looking forward to picking up I'm Smart! and whatever other books the authors write in the series.

Our train-loving, 5-year-old grandson made me read this twice the first time he heard it! Red race car challenges freight train to a cross-country race. Throughout the journey, which stretches from Sacramento to Chicago, the little race car must deal with all sorts of obstacles that are nonexistent for the freight train. We learn about all the different kinds of cars that a freight train pulls and what might be on each one. And when freight train ultimately wins and race car challenges him to another race back, the train makes the little car an offer he can't refuse: a lift back instead! Written in typical McMullan question-and-exclamatory-answer style and full of fun-to-make sound effects, this book is sure to please any little one who's up for an adventure.

The McMullans are great picture book illustrators and wonderful wordsmiths and story tellers! I bought I'm Fast! and I'm Dirty!, because my 4 year old grand-nephew loved I Stink! They were instant winners. They are a delight to read and to hear. They are also very informative, and they lead to meaningful conversations, without being preach-y. The males in my sister's family have always loved car racing, especially sports cars -- this books has no intentions to rain on that parade. What it does do is give a young person who loves the Thomas train stories an introduction into fast, dirty, stinky 21 Century USA reality.

Gift for grandson that loves cars and trains. He's 3 1/2 and LOVES the book.

My 3 year old grandson wants this book read to him every night. We have done so for over 3 months now. We were renting it from the Library but when he continued to ask for it, we bought him his own copy. It has what all little (and) bigger boys want. A fast red car. A zooming speedy train (that talks) and a race.

He loves all the books by Kate McMullen, beginning with "I StinK". This one is especially great for him because it makes mention of Chicago and we live in Chicago. He loves trains and race cars and the rhymes are quite nice. One we read over and over again without growing tired.

My 2 year old son LOVES this series from the McMullans. After checking them out at the library over and over we had to get some of his own. This one is super cute just like the others!

Two of my sons's favourite authors, we are slowly building the whole set. It's perhaps not as fun as  I Stink!  or  I'm Dirty!  but my son still loves it, and it's one he brings out of his book basket quite often. He is seven and can nearly read the whole thing unassisted. I Stink!I'm Dirty!

I bought this after my three-year-old son fell in love with it after we borrowed a copy from the library. He still loves to listen to it read to him over and over. All of the McMullan's books are great. They are fun to read aloud, with great rhythm and expressive language. My eldest son loved them when he was younger as well. Highly recommend.
