Not at all ashamed to speak high praise for this little book.
Over the summer I decided that I needed to solidify a foundational understanding of the mechanics that make cars work (especially to understand engines). This book was perfect for that.
Renson’s accessible explanations, paired with vivid and easily interpreted illustrations, make for a learning experience that boosts confidence in readers. I feel like I have gained next-level knowledge in a topic that often remains mysterious to the average person, all from a book that a seven-year-old could understand.

Fantastic!
I'm thrilled with this book! Yes, it's more of a kids' book, but as someone who isn't technical, it was perfect for me. It is written in an easy to understand way and explains how engines work, how transmissions get power to the wheels, how brakes and suspension keep us safe and much more. The colorful illustrations and simple explanations made everything click. Highly recommend for fellow car beginners!
