Review: Fun, informative book about cars for 8 years and up - My 10-year-old grandson adores this book. He takes it on every car ride, and reads it at night before turning out the light. He always has something he wants to show me or talk about with his grandfather (who is an auto mechanic). The text is just the right amount to satisfy curiosity without being overwhelming. The pictures are great. Descriptions are clear, and the discussion of the history and development of engines is really interesting. I'd say that any kid 8-teens with an interest in cars would be thrilled to have this book.
Review: An entertaining read - Funny and clearly explained. Kid already loves it already and we keep revisiting it as his understanding broadens. Good pictures, graphics, text - lots of stuff to keep it entertaining.
