Wonderlit Review
Faster! Faster! by Leslie Patricelli is a vibrant picture book that beautifully illustrates the power of imaginative play and the special bond between a father and daughter. The story follows a little girl and her dad at the park, where her father playfully transforms into various fast-moving animals, from a dog to a cheetah, giving her exhilarating rides. The book gently explores themes of joy, connection, and the boundless nature of a child's imagination. It's an uplifting and heartwarming read, perfect for children aged 2-6. Younger children will delight in the animal sounds and the repetitive "faster, faster!" refrain, while slightly older preschoolers might enjoy discussing the different animals and speeds. Parents will appreciate the positive portrayal of an engaged father and the simple, pure fun depicted. This book is ideal for a cozy read-aloud, especially when a parent wants to encourage imaginative play or simply share a moment of loving connection with their child. It stands out for its focus on active, imaginative play rather than just passive observation.
