5.0 out of 5 starsOne of the best readers around!
By Z Hayes HALL OF FAMETOP 100 REVIEWER on September 27, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I must admit, my kindergartener and I are great fans of the Step Into Reading series of books. Since my daughter had completed the Step 2 books in the Step Into Reading series of books, I decided to go ahead and purchase the Step 3 books. I was a bit hesitant because I noticed there is quite a big leap between the Step 2 and Step 3 books, especially in terms of vocabulary and sentence structure. The vocabulary is more advanced with higher order words, and the sentences are longer. I was also concerned that my daughter might not like the topics which seemed to be more 'academic' with history-based stories. My worries were unfounded. She loves the books and is reading them with very little help from me (and I enjoy listening to the stories!)

These books are excellent for building children's reading skills as well as increasing their confidence in reading. Once you've completed the Step 1 and Step 2 books (I would advise proceeding level by level), the Step 3 books are not as daunting as they might first appear. In "Eat My Dust!", children are introduced to Henry Ford and learn about his contributions. The illustrations enhance the story and add a fun element which will appeal to young children.

I can't recommend these books highly enough - they are great for building reading skills, and also educational. This book is a great introduction to history, and I also came up with a series of short comprehension questions based on the story in this book so as to hone my daughter's comprehension skills (e.g. "What sort of vehicle did Henry Ford drive?", "What event did Henry Ford participate in?", etc. ). These books are not only great intermediate readers but might also inculcate in children a great love of history.

4.0 out of 5 starsBasically informative book
By Ellicott City Mom on September 29, 2008
Format: Paperback
My six-year-old asked about how cars were invented, and we purchased this "easy reader" as an introduction. My six-year-old and four-year-old sons like the story. At the conclusion of the (abbreviated and simplified) account of Henry Ford and the Model T, there is an historic photo of Henry Ford which is pretty neat.

5.0 out of 5 starsHistory for kids!
By Carolyn B. Gatliff on February 6, 2007
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Keeping interesting reading for a beginning reader is always a challenge. Henry Ford's First Race was a winner, especially with our six year old son. The cover is now curled from repeated reading.

5.0 out of 5 starsEat My Dust! Henry Ford's First Race (Step into Reading)
By Jennelle Greg on June 22, 2014
Format: Paperback
this was a great educational book for the kids in my classroom. It's easy to read and gives true events from history. It was a lot of fun for them and they remembered all the information in the story and could easily recall answers to questions I asked from the book.

5.0 out of 5 starsHooray for Henry Ford
By A_nony_mouse on April 13, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This whole series of books are good, and reasonably historically accurate. The reason I like this one is because it was exciting enough to grab the interest of my reluctant reader grandson. He "had to read 10 minutes a day", and he tortured through them one word at a time. As this book got into the race section, he realized it was a story and paid attention to what he was reading. He has read better and enjoyed books since then. Needless to say, I have bought him, his brother and sister more of the books in this series.

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat resource about Henry Ford for younger kiddos
By Christie VINE VOICE on November 19, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This was a fun book about Henry Ford and how he won the money to create his cars. We are studying inventors and this was a fun way to teach my 1st grader and 3rd grader about Henry Ford and what he did for the automobile industry.
