About the Author Carolyn A. Ricciardi is a stay-at-home mother of two in West Milford, New Jersey. Her daughters, Sofia and Mia, are her life and inspiration, and her husband, Lou, has always been her biggest supporter. As a child, Carolyn's father always instilled the importance of driving safely well before she could actually drive herself. She attributes her desire to teach other children to him. Having children of her own, plus fifteen nieces and nephews, was enough motivation to start writing, but after losing her mother in a car accident, the project hit even closer to home. With this book, the author hopes to send a fun, effective message to children about the importance of driving safely.

They make strange noises. They belch smoke. There are far too many of them. But from the very beginning, we have always been crazy about our cars. In this visual love song to a much-maligned part of our lives, Maxwell Newhouse gives us a whimsical, quirky, and very personal history of the cars he adores. In the early days, cars were primarily a source of recreation. They shared unpaved roads with horses and wagons, and when they ran out of gas — which was often because there were few gas stations — horses had to pull them home. Driving mania soon began to shape the landscape. Cars begat gas stations, which sparked the popularity of family camping, going to the drive-in, and fast food. They even spawned bridges so that people could ford rivers in the comfort of their cars. Maxwell Newhouse has captured their spirit perfectly. Even now, when we all try to walk, use public transit, or ride bikes, there is still something thrilling in the cry, “Let’s go for a ride!”
