Straight from the Road & Track Crew! The ultimate car book for kids, with over 700 incredible facts about the slickest supercars, monster trucks, and speed machines

For car-obsessed 8–12-year-old kids who want to know everything from how engines work to the design process to how much they need to save to buy a Ferrari!

Buckle up for this full-color travel activity book with over 150 amazing color photos and 701 mind-blowing facts about big and fast cars! Under the hood you’ll discover:

• Incredible car facts like record-setting rides (check out the 763 mph ThrustSSC rocket car!) and answers to seriously silly questions (How do race car drivers pee during a race?)
• The science and history of cars from the Model T to electric cars to a Tesla in space!
• The coolest car-related jobs, like a Hot Wheels designer, the guy who created the Batmobile, a scientist who controls rovers on Mars, and race car drivers like Danica Patrick, Alexander Rossi, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Chloe Chambers.
• Awesome activities like drawing lessons (create your own car cartoon character!), matching games, quizzes, plus tons of jokes.
• The greatest cars from your favorite movies, shows, and games, plus sneak peeks inside the garages of your favorite famous car-collection celebs like The Rock, Lady Gaga, and Guy Fieri!

The only thing you’ll need for this road trip is a license for fun. So turn the key, step on the gas and let’s go!

—Archer, age 7

—Renee, age 13
