Books with title Race Cars

This nonfiction title explores the various colors of racecars that can be seen on a day spent at the races. Readers go behind the scenes at the racetrack to learn what the different colored flags mean during a race. Other concepts such as differentiating standings in a race and identifying racetrack workers are also highlighted in the text. Color associations are a recurring theme throughout the title to meet early elementary curriculum standards. Full-color photographs bring the information to life and help early readers make connections with the text.

Find out how they’re built and what makes them different from regular cars you see on the street. Get a huge fold-out view of the engine. (It’s also a poster on the back of the jacket). Take a look at the nitrogen-filled tires. And the picture of a dashboard is so big you’ll feel as if you’re sitting in the driver’s seat. It’s the next best thing to being at the wheel!
