3.0 out of 5 stars Nice Book for Kids, December 12, 2006

By	John A. Zofko III - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Pontiac Firebird (On the Road (Mankato, Minn.).) (Library Binding)

The book is brief, but a nice read for younger kids I would think as stated above the book is appropriate for ages from 7 to 12. It does not have much for specific information although it does mention the roots of the name. The inner workings of a 4 stroke engine, and other tidbits of general information.

I bought the book for my kids who are 3 and 7 years old.

One thing that I found is that the was hardly any reference to the 3rd generation. Other than a few mentions that the cars existed. The primary focus on the book is the 1st, 2nd and 4th generations.
