It’s the day in the life of a busy taxi cab! There are plenty of passengers to pick up, and they all need a ride – to a football game, a play, a business meeting, an airport and more. Whizzing left, right and through the traffic, Taxi takes on the town and navigates everything the road throws at him. Taxi … stop! Now, Taxi … GO!
With energy and exuberance, Patricia Toht and Maria Karipidou create a detail-rich and happy world that vehicle-loving children will adore.

Reviews
This is sure to appeal to the many young vehicle enthusiasts who will enjoy emulating the taxi’s ‘wee-wooo-weee’ and joining in with the frequent STOP! and GO! instructions as the cheerful, energetic story unfolds.
There is so much to see in the child-friendly scenes, you will likely need to share this several times to allow your young audience to enjoy the action and linger over all the details.
Not only does Patricia Toht’s charming story encourage little ones to engage with the excitement of the story, but with Maria Karipidou’s illustrations everything takes on a new life… this is an incredibly engaging and multi-layered picture book.
