The listing, Cars Book-New! The Essential Guide has ended.
"Cars" was the first movie that we took my three-year-old son to see at a theater. The greatest compliment I can give the film is that it kept him in his seat and laughing his head off for the entire movie. As always with big Summer releases like this, particularly with Disney/Pixar films, you get a lot of media tie-ins and the books from DK are always a treat. Extremely well done with fantastic photography, and in hard cover format that are perfect for kids or collectors.
"Cars The Essential Guide" is another winner from DK. The book gives kids all the information they could want about their favorite characters from the film including Lightning McQueen, The King, Chick Hick, Doc Hudson, Ramone, Red, Fillmore, and all the rest. Each of the main characters gets a full two-page spread in the book with photos from the film, background on the character, and fun car facts. In addition to the character info there is also information on Radiator Springs, the Dinoco 400 race, and much more. There is also a huge color foldout of the Motor Speedway of the South race track, complete with all sorts of interesting facts. There's even a section on those trouble-making pranksters DJ. Boost, Snot Rod, and Wingo.
"Cars The Essential Guide" is going to be a book that kids who loved the movie will treasure and read over and over again. It's simply a gorgeous book and an oversized hardcover book. Highly recommended!
