Toot Toot Zoom! by Phyllis Root (author) and Matthew Cordell (illustrator)

Poor Pierre lives all alone at the foot of a mountain, and in his heart, he longs for a friend. Perhaps if he hops in his car – toot toot zoom! – he will find a friend on the other side of the mountain! On the road – SCREECH! – he meets Goat, who kindly offers to help. And that, says Pierre, is EXACTLY the sort of thing his friend will do when he finds him! Up and up they zoom, collecting an amiable Sheep and Bear along the way. Will the car make it to the top? Will it get safely down? And will Pierre ever find a friend? A fast-moving, funny tale about finding friends where you least expect to.
