1. There were not any awards given for this book.
2. 1nd Grade - 2nd Grade
3. This book describes the story of transportation throughout history beginning with the original horse and buggy all the way through to Harrison Ford's Model T car. It uses watercolor in its illustrations and is interesting for students to read.
4. This book is good for students who are interested in cars. It is intriguing to read about all of the different forms of transportation that have been used in the past.
5. Cars would be great for a student book report idea. Students could choose their own topic, and creative differentiated project option could be used to represent the book. For instance, a hand on project of a car, a historic timeline of cars or a tech based video assignment.
