Young children just tumbling to the delights of language, and parents who know the struggles of trying to get children to sleep, ought to enjoy John Coy's ``Vroomaloom Zoom.'' This short, colorful reader involves Carmela, a young girl, and her father who set out for a fanciful drive in the car. Dad wears a leather cap and goggles and urges his daughter to bring along her blanket in case she falls asleep. As they drive past chicken farms, to the sea and through alligator-infested swamps, rhyming all the way, Dad can never quite Carmela to drop off to sleep. Even so, this ought to be a good bedtime read -- one that parents and kids can read together and aloud. The language begs to be spoken and the illustrations are colorful and fun.
