A charming collection of photos all about cars and things connected to them.

This lovely padded book introduces small children to a multitude of features relating to cars. Colorful photographs reveal close-up details ranging from seatbelts, gas pumps and car seats to full images of racecars, minivans and tow trucks. One- to three-word captions in large type describe the images and provide children with the opportunity to learn new words.

Cars and their details featured in this book:

• Everyday cars such as the sedan, minivan and police cars
• Sports cars, stretch limousines, race cars, red cars and blue cars
• Classic and vintage cars, tractors and farm vehicles
• Illustrating a fender bender and tow trucks
• Close-up images such as an exhaust pipe, steering wheel and under the hood.

Cars are everywhere and we use them every day. Their variety of shapes, colors and sounds makes them a perennial favorite of children.

There are a multitude of vehicles, colors, and styles to look at, so it will be a very young child's treat to pore over... Will keep a child busy and maybe an adult to share with as well.
