Review: Floor It!

By
Floor It! Written by Bex Tobin Fine Illustrated by Federico Fabiani New York: Random House, 2025. Picture book. The racer approaches the starting line, gets set to race and then ... floor it! Baby is on the way! With dynamic text and entrancing illustrations, we see a baby hard at work crawling through their living room. As they race through the room, everyday obstacles become fantastical thanks to illustrations that show the living room as it appears and how it might be imagined during play time. The race finishes with a checkered flag (a sock on baby's parent's foot) and a lift up to a warm embrace and snuggle.  This playful, high energy book is a read aloud of a family at play! Baby's play feels fun and realistic, and shows how littles can explore independently while still within the secure reach of a caregiver. High energy illustrations and naturally rhyming text make a perfect read aloud and gender neutral language used throughout make this a great book for families wi...
