Ever wonder how Mater first lost his hood? Or why Rust-eze started sponsoring Lightning McQueen? What about how Guido and Luigi came to Radiator Springs?

This deluxe jacketed, hardcover storybook reveals all this and more in five delightful, brand-new adventures! Find out about Flo's glamorous life before Radiator Springs and how Doc Hudson escaped the racetrack's limelight to become a doctor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Cars fans of all ages, March 16, 2009

My son is into anything Cars, so we're always on the lookout for Cars-themed stuff. There are dozens of books available, but nearly all of them are simply variations on the story from the movie. Many of them even share the same artwork. This book presents several completely new stories from the pasts of most of the main characters. They're well-written and substantial, and the illustrations are excellent. It's a good book to read to pre-readers and will also appeal to older children who can read it on their own.

The CD included with some editions of this book (it might be exclusive to a certain brick & mortar retailer) doesn't really add much -- it's simply a recording of an actor reading the book, with no music or effects.

My 3 year old daughter loves the Cars movie and anything that goes along with it. This book has been a lot of fun at story time; she really likes to hear about what Lightning, Mac, Doc, Mater, Flo, Guido & Luigi did before they were in Radiator Springs.

my two-year-old loves this book. he calls for 'world cars' almost every day. the pictures are nice, the stories are fun, not too short or long either. i can see him reading this book later too.
