lovers''.-- Kirkus ''Lots of vroom for car enthusiasts and history
buffs alike''. -- Booklist ''This marvellous exploration of the
history, design, engineering, technology and innovation of
car-making is essential reading for any child with an interest in
cars''. -- BookTrust ''A fantastic must-have book for any child
with an interest in cars''. -- Just Imagine ''This is a great book
for children who have expressed an interest in motor vehicles, for
learning about changes in technology over time or as an
introduction to the world of non-fiction books''. -- Reading Zone
''This book offers an interesting and informative history of cars
with plenty of light-hearted, chatty asides!''-- North Somerset
Teacher's Book Award In this title, Professor McPaw explores the
history of the car, starting with the steam engine in the early
1800s, the advent of the combustion engine in 1872, the
popularisation of the car by Henry Ford in the early 1900s, the
evolution of motor racing, luxury cars of the 1950s, the Japanese
innovations of the 1970s, and finally the new technologies of
electric and self-driving cars today. The book is engagingly
illustrated by Elliot Kruszynski, whose bright, clean, informative
style appeals to children across a broad age range. The Professor
and his sidekick (in this case a car, but changing with each book),
discuss the intricacies of historical episodes along the way,
lending a humorous, personal touch. Comic strip interludes capture
key moments, like the first cross-country road trip by the wife of
Karl Benz, inventor of the first gas-powered car; or the advent of
Ford's assembly line. Striking a refreshing balance between
authoritative, clearly conveyed information, and witty, bright
commentary, Professor McPaw will be a captivating tour-guide
through the fascinating developments of the modern world.
