Racing Through the Alphabet

Twelve More Little Race Cars

Rookie Racer

by Scott and Judy Pruett

NASCAR road racer Scott Pruett and his wife Judy have created a series of charming children’s books that introduce youngsters to racing while teaching them about letters and numbers, as well as relationships and team work.

The books, all written in simple rhyming verse, are beautifully illustrated in bright colors with a careful attention to the details of real racing.

Says Scott Pruett, "Two things are really important here; one is that we are creating something really good for the young fans and kids growing up around racing, and two is to provide something authentic for them to take away from the track, something that accurately reflects the sport."

Pruett has developed a fan following in NASCAR from his more than two dozen starts in road-course events dating back to 2000.

      NASCAR ABCs

by Paul Dubois Jacobs
and Jennifer Swender


The perfect alphabet book for racing fans who want to share their interest with young children. In rhyming verse that has introductory information, one or more terms are attached to each letter of the alphabet. Pictures of the cars feature numbers, but none of the sponsors' decals, so that readers are not exposed to advertising. The rhyming story keeps it simple. However, the glossary explains more about the terms, such as “yellow stripe” (which marks a rookie's car) and “marbles” (the small bits of rubber tire that collect on the outer edge of the track).

Reading level: Ages 4-8.

Hard cover, 32 pages.
