About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is transitioning from picture books to independent reading and needs a high-interest topic to keep them engaged. It is the perfect choice for a child who finds traditional narratives slow but lights up at the sight of a fire engine or a race car. This DK Reader uses the world of automotive engineering to turn a passion for vehicles into a successful reading experience. Beyond just naming parts, the book explores the history, science, and thrill of various vehicles, from monster trucks to movie cars. It fosters a sense of curiosity and wonder about how things work while building technical vocabulary in a way that feels like play. For a child who takes pride in knowing facts, the included activity pages provide a wonderful sense of accomplishment and mastery over the material.

Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and factual. It briefly mentions stunt cars leaping through flames, but the approach is focused on the professional skill and engineering involved rather than peril.
