A big hit with my boys, so four stars for that. It has more interesting details and read aloud appeal than most vehicle-based ABC books so I appreciate that aspect, too.

How in the world could I have missed this book all these years?!?! I cannot even begin to describe how happy I am to find a good book about ABC's & NASCAR! Not only is this book amazing and detailed, but it also comes with a NASCAR Glossary in the back that explains each word that is unusual to Non-NASCAR fans. My daughter has spent countless hours going over each page. We point out letters and cars and the tracks. So fun! A MUST READ FOR ALL FAMILIES THAT LOVE NASCAR!

Great alphabet book to use during a race car storytime.

Most ABC books aren't all that great, but this one was perfect for my 4yo ds who loves race cars! It didn't try to dumb all the words down, but used real terms (with a glossary at the back for those of us who didn't know them all). Fun book!

This is a fun rhyming ABC book for kids who love NASCAR. For those who don't know much about NASCAR, there is a glossary at the back explaining all the items from A to Z.

I like because the race cars are racing.

[Markus · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not an enjoyable read for me because I don't like NASCAR, but my three year old nephew loves it. So unless he demands it, I probably will never read it again.

But it's great for 3 year olds.

My little boy loves this book. Granted, I don't understand some of the terms, but there is a handy glossary in the back. Great illustrations.

For the older boy- more 1st grade range, despite being an ABC book.
