5.0 out of 5 stars Colorful--Little Fans of Cars Will Enjoy This Book, May 13, 2006

This review is from: Driving Buddies (Step into Reading) (Cars movie tie in) (Paperback)

Cars is the name of a movie to be released by Disney/Pixar in June 2006. For some reason, a series of books have been available for purchase since April. This means that the little ones (and their parents!) will know the end of the story before they see the movie should they read a book like Driving Buddies before the release date.

Featuring colorful illustrations from Disney's Storybook Artists, Driving Buddies gives an overview of the entire movie (including, unfortunately, the ending) rather than focusing on just one section of time (like many children's books based on movies).

At 32 pages, this book focuses mostly on the relationship of McQueen, the snazzy, cocky red sports car that came zipping through town, and the rusty tow truck named Mater. Without giving away the plot of the story, McQueen learns valuable lessons about "winning" and friendship.

Driving Buddies is a Step 2 book in the Step Into Reading series by Random House. Step 2 books feature large words and simple sentences, and is geared towards beginner readers (Preschool-Grade 1) who recognize familiar words on sight--but can sound out new words with help.

My son requests this book often as a bedtime story, as well as a chapter book based on the Cars movie (we do a chapter a night). If your child loves cars and colorful books, Driving Buddies is a great read.

My four year old really enjoys this book. I wouldn't recommend it older kids though.
