Review: Best Beginner Book EVER! - Absolutely the best book for a little boy! We have owned the book for about a month and my 20-month old asks for it many times a day. Often, he will just sit and look through the book himself while he "reads" aloud. The pictures are bright and colorful. The best part is that there are easily recognizable cars and people on every page. Even the youngest children will be able to pick out familiar items on each page meaning every page is interesting! Also, the story of Sam and his car teaches responsibility and ends with a funny twist that the young readers will find silly. Simply a great beginner book! Review: Such cute pictures! - This is a sweet book and the illustrations are colorful and simple. The vehicles have a little personality, my one-year old grandson loves it. ## Features - My Car By Barton Byron ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,204,139 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #161 in Children's Travel Books (Books) #186 in Children's Math Fiction #377 in Children's Books on Cars, Trucks & Buses | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 249 Reviews | ## Images ![My Car: A Wonderful Story About Vehicles, Colors, Shapes, and Community for Preschoolers - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61eNJs0MFeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Beginner Book EVER! *by A***R on April 25, 2011* Absolutely the best book for a little boy!

We checked this book out from the library and it is definitely my son's favorite book. I put it on my Amazon wish list, so hopefully someone will buy it for us. We've renewed the one we have 3 times now! :) The book has a lot of simple pictures of cars, simple words, and even a bus. My son gets very excited about the last page which has cars, a bus, and an airplane. My Car is a bedtime story request almost every night. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/20303506-my-car-a-wonderful-story-about-vehicles-colors-shapes-community](https://www.desertcart.us/products/20303506-my-car-a-wonderful-story-about-vehicles-colors-shapes-community) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-16*
