I purchased duplicates of this book and "Built For Speed". The books was well received by 8,9, and 10 year old boys. Beautiful pictures, great information, definitely promotes reading. The boys got their books and off they went to read and then share what they learned. It was not difficult reading for the boys, the 8 year old asked about how to pronounce a word or two. They were super excited to get the books. I will be adding to the collection. Highly recommend, great price for hard bound books.
