Ever wonder how Mater first lost his hood? Or why Rust-eze started sponsoring Lightning McQueen? What about how Guido and Luigi came to Radiator Springs? This deluxe, jacketed, hardcover storybook... This description may be from another edition of this product.
My 3-year-old, who is a huge Disney Cars fanatic, LOVED this book! It has some really great and cute back stories of the characters, and the pictures are great. :o) Definitely was a good buy, and I would buy it again!
Best of the Cars Books
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book is the best of the Cars books out there, hands down. With great artwork and imaginative backstories, it helps to really expand the world of Cars, not just re-hash the movie (as many of the books do). My son (3 1/2) loves finding out how the various cars got to Radiator Springs, and it is great to see him loving the drawings on the page and not just on a flickering screen. The stories themselves are filled with the humor that you find in the movie and the characters ring true -- for Cars fans this book will not disappoint.
Perfect for Cars fans of all ages

My son is into anything Cars, so we're always on the lookout for Cars-themed stuff. There are dozens of books available, but nearly all of them are simply variations on the story from the movie. Many of them even share the same artwork. This book presents several completely new stories from the pasts of most of the main characters. They're well-written and substantial, and the illustrations are excellent. It's a good book to read to pre-readers and will also appeal to older children who can read it on their own. The CD included with some editions of this book (it might be exclusive to a certain brick & mortar retailer) doesn't really add much -- it's simply a recording of an actor reading the book, with no music or effects.
Great Book For Our Little Cars Lover

My 3 year old daughter loves the Cars movie and anything that goes along with it. This book has been a lot of fun at story time; she really likes to hear about what Lightning, Mac, Doc, Mater, Flo, Guido & Luigi did before they were in Radiator Springs.

my two-year-old loves this book. he calls for 'world cars' almost every day. the pictures are nice, the stories are fun, not too short or long either. i can see him reading this book later too.
