5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for all boys, 1 Feb 2009
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars I cannot believe it, 12 May 2009

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars How it works, Cars., 1 Jun 2009
By Mr. Michael J. R. Lindsay (Norfolk UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
