Tow on the Go! The Mambo Rescue!

Mo, the lovable tow truck, likes to mambo while he works. When ten cars get stuck in a snowstorm, Mo has to mambo faster than ever before to get them out! 

Little readers can dance to the beat as Mo plays his radio as he zooms through piles of snow. The tow trucks smile, and the musical notes light up each page. When Mo arrives, the frowning cars all want to go first. Mo comes up with a plan, but the cars must work together. Soon, Mo has everyone listening to the radio, and soon, “each car begins to swing and sway!” With the help of Monbo music, Mo and all the other cars are soon on the go.
