This rhyming book introduces your youngster to the world of cars...from what they are, how they work, how to care for them, how to operate them, what a driver does and more!
Includes the "anatomy" of a car on the last page.

This is one of my son’s favourite bedtime books. It’s a lovely rhyming description of cars with colourful, fun illustrations. The rhymes make it fun to read, and I like that it’s a good introduction to the concept of cars – between the words and the pictures, it’s helped my son and I talk about rules of the road, the mechanics of how cars work, and types of vehicles.

It’s a staple of our bedtime bookshelf!

Who this book would be for: PreK-K
Reflection:
Cool Cars is a great book to introduce different parts of a car and what each part does to help the car go! A glossary at the end of the book summarizes the job of each part of the car. Very cute!

I like this book because it rhymes and it's fun to read.

The illustrations will help children learn about cars, roads and driving as well as different types of cars. A diagram in the back of the book describes car parts.

Love this series! These read aloud well and are age-appropriate without dumbing things down too much. Cute, colorful illustrations. Withstand multiple readings. Highly recommended for ages 2-5.

3 or 3 1/2 stars. Nice rhyming pattern with colorful illustrations and lots to look at on the pages. The illustration of the car at the end seemed like info kids reading this book would already know

My son loves this book, he is obsessed with cars and we have to read this to him at least once a day. He is getting really good at identifying parts of a car and the road signs.

Nää Tony Mittonin työkone- ja autokirjat on tosi mieleisiä meidän 2-vuotiaalle. Kiva, rimmaava rytmi ja mielenkiintoisia yksityiskohtia kuvissa.

Fun for kids who would be in to learning about lots of different cars. Rhythmic rhyming and colorful art makes it entertaining to look at and read

Good for little ones, kindergarteners would probably enjoy.

Squirt just hasn't developed an interest in cars yet - diggers and such, yes, but not cars. Maybe this review will change in a little as he grows.

[Katie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute non-fiction about cars - very much simple non-fiction.
Text is informative rhymes, which sometimes are a bit clunky.

Loved by some young children.

Good for boys.

[jessica wilson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Actually a nifty book about cars. Fun, colorful illustrations show the parts fo the car and how the rules of the road work. The kiddos in my classroom love it!
