Zoom! by Robert N. Munsch

 

Lauretta's mother takes her to buy a new wheelchair, but Lauretta isn't satisfied with a regular five-speed or ten-speed model. No, she insists on the 92-speed, black, silver, and red dirt-bike wheelchair. When she gets a speeding ticket during a one-day tryout, her parents insist that the chair be returned to the store...until Lauretta's older brother has an accident and only one person can whisk him to the hospital on time. Zoom! by Robert Munsch illustrated by Michael Martchenko was published in 2002. 

The illustrations in this book were a lot of fun but I don't know this book really made me upset as a parent. We are encouraging our kids to break laws. I know this book is fiction but I think sometimes books help put ideas in kids heads. Anyways, my kids didn't even like this book which is saying something. We do like that it's a book with a disability and hope that there will be more books out there with other kinds of disability.
