To many people, life is just cooler on the back of a 'hog.' Children will be eager to find out about the culture and mechanics of choppers, cruisers, and other motorcycles in the street bike family. Kids will learn about different types of bikes, the parts of a motorcycle, and the gear and clothing a biker needs to stay safe. Other topics include - the evolution of motorcycles over the last 120 years - the reasons that motorcycles became popular, including the influence of Hollywood - the different styles of American and Japanese motorcycles - motorcycle clubs, rallies, and organized rides - noted designers and engineers who made great bikes - and made bikes great!

Perhaps the greatest instrument of war to come out of the Second World War and forged into something still in use today is arguably-the 1/4-ton reconnaissance car or jeep. The jeep during WW2 was a new and speedy little vehicle designed to get in and go where motorcycles couldn't go. It was the baby of a little company called American Bantam Car Company and the U. S. Army's Infantry Branch.
Grandpa's War Pony was originally written for the author's grandchildren and is now being shared with children everywhere.
