Gr 2-5- Three easy-to-read titles with texts in both English and Spanish. Basic career facts about each driver are presented opposite crisp, full-color photos of the men, their racing cars and trucks, pit-crew members, and action shots. Words in boldface are defined in the short glossaries. A tiny (two title) list of further reading, with different books in each language, is also provided. Unfortunately, a publisher's note on an Internet link to "regularly updated" Web sites is effectively buried below the LC cataloging data. Otherwise, this is an agreeable trio of titles for reluctant readers and ESL students.-Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY
