Crush It! plays to the interest of most little boys, ages six and seven, who are fascinated with cars and destruction.  The cover is colorful and shows a smashed up car and would draw any young child’s attention.  The text is appropriate and shows exactly what the pictures are telling them.  The very first picture shows old cars in a scrap yard–but the cars shown are from the 1950’s.  It makes me wonder how long ago the photos were taken and leads me to think that a more recent photo, taken on a sunny day rather than an overcast winter day, would show better.  The photos of various cars getting smashed is good and you can imagine hearing the noise, especially with the sound effects written in large colorful letters across the page.  Little boys will enjoy calling out the action.  The book seems a bit pricey for just 24 pages, which is why I gave it an Ad+.  I believe that a full 32 pages could have been used to show the processing plant and maybe some of the products made from these recycled cars.
