Look Inside Cars

Look Inside

by Rob Lloyd Jones, Stefano Tognetti (Illustrator)

This is a fascinating flap book packed with interesting information about cars, from how the first automobiles were invented, to how speedy racing cars get around tracks. Each of the seven double-page spreads have several flaps to lift, many with double flaps, and several of them also have fun paper technology such as sliding a race car or moving a car along a production line in a factory. Other spreads look inside a busy car repair shop, and a scrap yard where old cars get crushed.

Aanrader voor jonge autofans. Zeer interessant en massa's stevige flapjes. Toont hoe een auto er vanbinnen uitziet en werkt, hoe die wordt gefabriceerd, verschillende soorten, evolutie doorheen de eeuw, ... Kleurrijk en uitnodigend.

A beautiful book that explains cars to pre schoolers
It has different sections that teach how they’re made, how they run, how they’re fixed, about race cars, the history of cars, and the scrapyard.
Lots of flaps that make it interactive.
My 3 year old thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a long read and he actually sat through it. He also seemed to have understood a lot of it, if not all.
I’m expecting he’ll be bringing this one out a lot often than I would like. 😂
