Vroom! How Does A Car Engine Work for Kids

grand child loved it

Very detailed pictures and descriptions on how the engine works, briefly touches on the other systems but does not get into them.

Has many good illustrations, but the language in the text is awkward and sometimes opaque, as though the author is writing in the British idiom, but not a native speaker of English, for example : "When the energy from the first explosion has used up, a new explosion occurs", and "Cylinders - they are made of super-strong metal and locked, but they open and close like bicycle pumps" - What? Needs a re-write.

Someone threw together this book by downloading stock images and slapping them on the page with unclear, repetitive text. The definition format used in half the book doesn't read aloud well which is essential for the target audience, preschoolers. The graphics are poor - you need labelled diagrams to explain engines, not just isolated unlabeled photos. Of the 3 books I bought for my kindergartener to learn more about cars, this was the worst by far. He liked the Bo the Bear book a bit better and LOVES Car Science by Richard Hammond despite the reading level being for teens or adults.

Cannot say how the 6-year-old likes the book, yet, but the grammar is awful. The Quality of writing is a poor example for the target age group.

It's really inferior quality colour copy of book not worth the price.Poor quality paper and print

VERY long book. Has a TON of pages!! Too advanced for 5year old but he’ll grow into it. We read sections at a time!

Bought for a 5yr old so a wee bit too advanced.Well written though
