Editorials

Children's Literature - Susan Borges

For stock car enthusiasts of all ages and children who are learning the letters of the alphabet, this clever alphabet book will be a winner. Brad Herzog uses parallel text to engage all readers. There are witty verses of poetry for every letter of the alphabet, accompanied by rich text that contains fascinating facts and detailed information from A to Z. Readers learn that Daytona, Florida, is where NSCAR racing got its start, drafting is when drivers race in a single file to share air flow, and fans at stock car events can rent radio scanners that allow them to listen to conversations between the driver and the crew. Jane Bready's vibrant, captivating illustrations on each page bring the words to life and grab the attention of readers with their wonderful complexity and realistic impressions of stock car racing. Each beautiful illustration is brimming with personality and special appeal. Adults who love stock care racing and NSCAR will be eager to share this unique alphabet book with young readers.
