Cabs are resting in a line. Wake up, Taxi. Rise and shine!

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.
