Follow the life of a car from the production line, to being sold, driven, cleaned, crashed, mended, scrapped and finally recycled to make . . . another car! Featuring an assortment of brightly coloured vehicles including tow-trucks, transporters and lifting machines, this is the perfect book for all car and machine-mad readers. See if you can spot the little red mini from Susan's first book, ON THE ROAD, travelling through the book!

"Adding to a picture book series Susan Steggall's The Life of a Car (Frances Lincoln) will enthral budding drivers as they follow, quite literally and with very simple language, the life of a car from production line to recycling!"

 

"The collage pictures that capture each stage of the car's life are a million miles away from your average Heynes manual...The texture of the materials gives depth and movement -- perfect for the transport theme in this book -- The Life of a Car is a super book that is bound to find an enthusiastic audience amongst the under 6's, particularly, though not exclusively, boys."

 

"Brilliant in its simplicity -- most children will love this, especially any budding mechanics."
