(3) K-3 Clement gives readers the feeling of watching a stock-car race while delivering information regarding the meaning of commonly used stock-car racing flags and racing terminology. The text is sparse, but high-octane phrasing creates an element of excitement, and there's a nice twist at book's end. Slick, bright computer-rendered illustrations splashed across double-page spreads further the aura of energetic competition.
Reviewer: Luther B. Clegg
