A great book for all boys
A great book for all boys that are interested in cars. Our 8 year old absolutely loves it as it explains at their level all about the workings of the car. Brilliant purchase!
I cannot believe it
Car Science
I have searched for a book that would answer my childrens sensible questions on how cars actually work for several years. This book answers all of their questions (and more) in a way that both I and they understand. A brilliant book.
How it works, Cars.
Not sure that the aims of teaching 8-9 year olds about car engines have been met. Or that a picture of 170 horses necessarily gives the idea of 170 HP.
But very much a fun book. I bought it for our local primary school when one little boy whose reading I was monitoring said he was interested in books that gave factual information. The book he had wasn't too interesting so I asked what things was he interested in? He said Cars and Space.
There were no books in the school library about cars. There's one now.
