Actually a great read! Much better than the Monsters inc graphic novel of the same series.
Luigi's and Guido's story was probably my favourite.
Good to know that Mater has three cousins, Buford, Jud and Cletus.
Also, this book made me realize why the animators probably chose to make Mater without a hood - it makes him look like he has a nose, making him look more human. Maybe that's why I like Mater the most.
I'm still not sure how Luigi's Leaning Tires of Pizza stay up though, even with the rope, Tires are very heavy.
Excellent book though, gives the original movie something extra.
This does make me wonder though, how did Stanley, the founder of Radiator Springs, die? Because in this world, cars are living, sentient beings. Look at Mater. When Mater is too old to drive anymore, I'd assume he'd go to a home for retired cars. Wondering how death plays into this world.

For any young fans of the Cars movie, this graphic novel will entertain them not only by the great illustrations, but the entertaining history of how the characters came to town. A great graphic novel to grab a reluctant reader into the world of books.

Adorable! As a fan of the movie, it was great to get to find out the back stories of so many of the characters! And, as always, the sight-gags are great (a poster of the Beatles as Beetles cars was my favorite, of course!)

Four short stories about how Lightning McQueen's friends came to live in Radiator Springs. Cute and enjoyable.
