Taxi, Go! is the energizing new picture book by Patricia Toht with digital illustrations by Maria Karipidou.

We start the day with our Taxi who is all fueled up, tires checked, and ready for hire! The taxi picks us the first passenger and takes them to their first stop. We see from the perspective of the taxi and all the stops it makes throughout its day. “A soccer game. A dance. A play. Taxi help them on their way.”

Toht is a master of rhyming, and particularly with the way she uses turning the page to get to the next rhyme is such a unique way of her work. There are lots of opportunities for children to chime in with “Stop!” and “Taxi, Go!” repetition throughout the book. Children with a love for vehicles will ask for this one again, and again. Perfect for children in Pre-school to Kindergarten, and read-aloud storytimes.
