K-Gr 1—These slim titles, with two exceptions, are so simplistic that there is hardly any content. Each book is arranged in the same four-chapter format of two or three sentences facing a colorful photo that shares part of the narrative page. The wording is often vague, and at other times serves merely as a photo caption. Readers are sometimes left to decide to which part of the photo the text applies. Only one page in the entire series (in Muscle Cars) identifies a vehicle by make or model. Though there are glossaries, the words defined there are not bolded in the narratives. Exclamations such as, "Vroom! Vroom!" and "Zoooom!" add little. Racing stripes, hot-rod flames, and sandbags are described as being parts of the car along with items such as the engine and the wheels. Though Muscle Cars and Sports Cars are also quite simple, they are possibilities if the need is serious; the value of the other books lies only in their neat photos.
