Smokin' Dragsters and Funny Cars

48 pp. | Enslow/Speeding Star | September, 2013 | Library ISBN 978-1-62285-070-9 $13.95
(4) 4-6 Fast Wheels! series. These books profile specific types of high-speed vehicles. The leveled texts should appeal to reluctant readers, who will be drawn to the topic and the (small-size) photos. The books are a combination of description and history, with emphasis on special features and anecdotes. "Smokin' Facts" pages highlight unusual stats, notable individuals, and oddities. The random organization of information, however, is unfortunate. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Fast Wheels! titles: Smokin' Open Wheel Race Cars, Smokin' Dragsters and Funny Cars, Smokin' Race Cars, Smokin' Motorcycles, Smokin' Muscle Cars, and Smokin' Sports Cars.
