Book review: Dixie O’Day: In The Fast Lane by Shirley Hughes and Clara Vulliamy

“made me feel all jumpy because silly things just pop up from nowhere…”

Dixie O’Day (a dog) really likes cars and he enters a racing challenge. His friend is Percy (another dog). They are racing against lots of other players like Loella (a human lady) and they have to try to win the car race all around a place called Didsworth.

The story is a very exciting one and made me feel all jumpy because silly things just pop up from nowhere like when Loella’s car broke down and she had to get a new pink one.

The pictures are really nice. I liked the black, white and redness of them. There is at least one on every page.

I would really recommend Dixie O’Day in the Fast Lane. I read it all by myself but it would also be a great story book for younger children to have read to them at bedtime.
