My son's dream book

Combining an alphabet book with realistic illustrations of cars, this book has everything my three-year old son could want. Each letter of the alphabet gets one principal automobile, and two or three profile drawings of additional cars whose names begin with the letter. The principal car gets a full-page illustration and a paragraph or two of information. Some of the choices are a little obscure for American readers ("H", for example, is represented by Holden, an Australian car, rather than Honda), and the "modern" cars are now a bit dated, given its 1991 copyright. This book would appeal to a preschooler with an interest in cars, a young car fan wanting to broaden his or her horizons, and a father like me, looking for a book that I can happily reread when my son says, "Again?" If you're the kind of parent whose heart swells with pride when your toddler says, "Ferrari Testarossa," you've found the right book.
