Gr 4-7-Designed for young reluctant readers, this series focuses on top-of-the-line sports cars, giving brief histories of their manufacturers and designers, and some fine points on their engineering and performance. Relatively up-to-date (some 1999 data is included), they all have chatty texts and simple sentences. Black-and-white photos depict early models and historical shots, while bright colors show the gleaming, sleek lines of the contemporary designs. Attractive to their chosen audience, and probably useful as well in remedial programs, these slender offerings could freshen a dated section of 629.222's.-Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
