5.0 out of 5 stars Monster Trucks Review, February 7, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Monster Jam: The Amazing Guide (Hardcover)

I really liked this book. It told me all I really needed to know about Monster Jam and the Monster Trucks that raced in the rally's. The pictures really had action like the real thing. And you can trust me I've been in six of these events straight. It has eleven interviews of the Monster Trucks. It's like you are behind the wheel and you know exacly what your doing. From the kill switch to the gears you learn everything. The trucks 1,500 horsepower engines.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome for little boys, December 5, 2005

This review is from: Monster Jam: The Amazing Guide (Hardcover)

I have been reading this book with my son, age 4, for a week. The book is not too long and it has really great photos in it. There are plenty of small snippets of information for reading so you can read a little on each page out loud without having to read it all. We checked it out from the library and I can't believe it is here in hardcover for five bucks. Truly worth the money.
