About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their car-obsessed child is ready for more than just picture books.

What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
As a book about a dangerous sport, there may be mentions or photographs of car crashes. However, given the publisher (Capstone) and age range, any depiction will be factual and non-graphic, focusing on the risk and safety measures rather than injury. The approach is secular and informational.
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is a 7 to 9 year old who is fascinated by vehicles, speed, and how things work. This child may be a reluctant reader who is more easily engaged by nonfiction topics they are passionate about, like cars or sports. They are likely moving from picture books to early chapter books and appreciate dynamic photos paired with accessible text.
