(4) 4-6 Race Car Legends series. This appreciative survey describes the alterations that are made both internally and externally to turn a vehicle into a lowrider. The emphasis is on the lowrider as a form of artistic expression, often maintained as a family heirloom, and enjoyed in clubs that serve the community--particularly in Mexican-American culture. Though the text extols the design and exotic colors of lowriders, the book's black-and-white photos are drab. Bib., glos., ind.

(4) 4-6 Behind the Moves series. Intended for older readers with low reading skills, these books use flashy graphics, plenty of white space, simple sentences, and large photographs that correlate with the text. Each book defines the sport, explains a variety of fancy tricks, and concludes with a discussion of safety. The organization is simple and the text uninspired, but the books fill an important niche and will appeal to a wide audience. Bib., glos., ind.
