Road & Track Crew's Big & Fast Cars: 701 Totally Amazing Facts!

Description

The fastest, funniest page-turner on the planet! This is the ultimate book for kids who love slick supercars, powerful monster trucks, and record-smashing speed machines. Buckle up -- the only thing more exciting than reading this book about big and fast cars is sitting behind the wheel of one crossing the finish line at the Indy 500!

Inside you'll find amazing color photos, mind-blowing facts, and answers to some very urgent questions, like:

Do you know why the van was embarrassed around its friends? Because it had a little gas!

Since the invention of the wheel, people have been building machines that go faster and faster and look cooler and cooler.

The first cars went about 10 mph, now they easily break 200 mph -- and some even drive themselves! Speaking of which, ever wonder whose fault it is if two self-driving cars get in an accident?

Pick up this book and find out!

Under the hood you'll discover:

Incredible auto-related 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?)

Many S.T.E.A.M. learning opportunities such as the science of how cars work and the history of cars from the Model T to electric cars to a Tesla in space!

Behind-the-scenes stories of people with great car-related jobs such as a Hot Wheels designer, the guy who created the Batmobile, a scientist who controls rovers on Mars, and of course, record-setting drivers like Danica Patrick, Alexander Rossi, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and teen sensation Chloe Chambers.Fun activities such as drawing lessons (create your own car cartoon character!) matching games, quizzes, plus tons of jokes.

Sneak peeks inside the garages of your favorite famous car-collection celebs like The Rock, Lady Gaga, Guy Fieri and other car-obsessives!

The only thing readers need to drive Road & Track Crew Big & Fast Cars is a license for fun. So turn the key, step on the gas and let's go!
