He takes it on every car ride, and reads it at night before turning out the light. He always has something he wants to show me or talk about with his grandfather (who is an auto mechanic). The text is just the right amount to satisfy curiosity without being overwhelming. The pictures are great. Descriptions are clear, and the discussion of the history and development of engines is really interesting. I'd say that any kid 8-teens with an interest in cars would be thrilled to have this book. Review: Great book - Great book. Full of knowledge for a car obsessed boy! ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #60,072 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #41 in Children's Physics Books (Books) #88 in Children's How Things Work Books (Books) #348 in Children's Books on Cars, Trucks & Buses | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,183 Reviews | ## Images ![Car Science: An Under-the-Hood, Behind-the-Dash Look at How Cars Work - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815yv4ZpXDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun, informative book about cars for 8 years and up *by K***. on October 26, 2025* My 10-year-old grandson adores this book.
