Review: Cool Cars


Cool Cars
Written by Tony Mitton
Illustrated by Ant Parker

Publication Date: 2005
Publisher: Macmillan Children’s Books
ISBN: 978-0-330-52008-9

Summary/back cover:
“Cars are really handy
for getting us around.
They whizz about on busy roads
and make a zoomy sound.”

Cruise down the street with some dotty animal drivers in this cheerful picture book. Zippy wordplay, zappy art, plus a picture dictionary make learning about cars fun!

Review:
This is another book in the Amazing Machines series, others of which have already been reviewed on this site. This story introduces children to different sorts of cars, including taxis and race-cars. It also briefly covers road signs, and car maintenance.

For children who are a little bit young for non-fiction books, or who prefer a more sing-song approach to learning, the Amazing Machines books are a fantastic introduction to cars, trains and the like. We have four Amazing Machines books in our household and they are without a doubt the stories my two year old boys most enjoy looking at and request to be read to them.

My rating: 4.5 out of 5
