If I Built a Car 24 reviews
Chris Van Dusen
Puffin, 2007
I LOVE this book!
I can't begin to say enough good things about this book by Chris van Dusen. His story about a boy on his quest to build the perfect car is genius. What an imagination! The illustrations alone would be reason enough to buy the book, but the catchy rhyming verse keeps you turning page after page to see what he will dream up next. I also loved the 1950's feel to the book that takes you back to a ...

Let's Cruise! (Friendship Box, 4 board books in a box) (Cars movie tie in)5 reviews
RH Disney
RH/Disney, 2006
Great for small fans of the movie!
My two year old who's favorite show is Cars loves these books. They are very simple books that each tell a watered down portion of the story. Each book is from a different character's POV from the movie; Lightning, Mater, Sally, and Doc.
The books are very sturdy which is great for when one of my children decides to get rough with them. The little case they come in is cute and while my boy ...

Used Car Buying Guide 2008 (Consumer Reports Used Car Buying Guide)2 reviews
Editors of Consumer Reports
Consumer Reports, 2008
Clearly Communicates Used Car Information
Buying a used car? Read the "Consumer Reports Used Car Buying Guide" first.
Rather than depend on the advice of semi-knowledgeable friends, a mechanic biased toward a car maker and not a specific vehicle, or by looking to see what your neighbor drives, you can depend on this.
I bought my last two cars using earlier guides.
In it, I found lists of "Good Bets," which are cars the ...

Tom Newton

helping me understand how a car operates
I changed jobs and became a parts delivery person. The knowledge I have received from the book as helped me in knowing what my customers are talking about and thus can relate messages to the sales staff. For my job and personally, I like knowing what the function of the parts are and where they are located. I am so glad to have the book. It was well written and made learning easy.

Richard Scarry's Cars and Trucks from A to Z (A Chunky Book(R))39 reviews
Richard Scarry
Random House Books for Young Readers, 1990
My son loves this book...
I bought this book as filler, to receive free shipping. It's a small, inexpensive book. The illustrations are very cute and the format is nice. It has the letter of the alphabet and then vehicles that start with that letter. It's been great alphabet and two-word phrase practice for my 22-month old. He enjoys reading this book with me and he now says "garbage truck" and "big truck." I'm very happy ...

Learn in Your Car Spanish Complete Language Course (Learn in Your Car) 128 reviews

Penton Overseas, 2005
Learn in Your Car Spanish
These cd's use rote memory and repetition to teach. This is the best method I've found for learning a foreign language. The pharses used are of the type that you would use in normal conversation. They do not take a lot of time explaining a lot of abstract consepts and useless history.

The Red Car
It has been 35 years since I read the book but I can vivdly remember many parts of it. For example the mechanic Frenchy left his tools dirty to keep others from walking off with them; the race through the mountains with the big Ford that could not stay with the MG in the curves and then his Dad getting caught up in the moment, telling him to speed up. Then later the Dad telling the boy not to ...

Great for 4 year Cars fan!
My 4 and a half year old son LOVED this sticker book. I bought it just after the movie came out and he didn't put it down for 2 hours ! It would have been perfect for a long trip. Now that he's four these types of books are great--finding the correct sticker to be placed in the right spot--then he would ask us to read the caption.
