Speed

 

 

 

 

Fast paced, brightly colored, and simple text – it’s a winner!

 

Speed by Nathan Clement is just right for young stock car fans.  Each two page computer rendered pencil drawings will capture a young reader’s attention.

Clement manages to capture the excitement and feel of the races. The reader is taken right into the race from the shout of “start your engines” until the final checker flag. The story begs to be read again as readers discover that they have been privy to a young child’s imaginative play and “the next race is about to begin”.  The end pages look like a checkered flag.  The first page explains what each flag means.

This is one that I’m sure will be hard to keep on the shelf!
