Series Review: Wild Wheels, Set 1"This series is sure to be as popular as the subjects themselves. The light, somewhat breezy texts move quickly, presenting the history of the cars and just the right amount of information...The vocabulary is right on target. The bright, colorful illustrations are excellent, usually filling the spreads as background to the narratives. Boxed captions are informative, and are placed so that they do not detract from the illustrations...Overall, this series is a first purchase."-School Library Journal
