Review of Z is for Zoom by Ashley Parlett Malec


From the experiences of a female NASCAR mechanic comes a book to teach kids (and grownups) the basics of cars, trucks, and things that go!

A is for Alternator
B is for Boost
C is for Combustion Engine

From automatic transmissions to drive lines and from suspension to Zerk fitting and everything in between, Z is for Zoom is a colorfully simple introduction for babies―and grownups―to automotive parts, mechanical terms, and what makes their favorite vehicles go vroom! Written by an expert, each page in this auto mechanics primer features multiple levels of learning so the book grows along with your little gear or motorhead!

**My thoughts**
This was a fun and very unique children's book, as it takes you on a mechanical alphabetical journey. Learn about the different parts of the car and how the car actually works. It's perfect for kids who love cars and even this adult learned a lot of new things. The illustrations are cute. I would love to have a version with real pictures, though, to really cement what these parts all look like on a real car and be even more informational as a nonfiction book. But that's probably more to help me to better understand my own car. I can also see using this with a kid to learn about letters and sounds, especially one who has not shown interest in other methods.

Thank you to the publisher for fulfilling my review request via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
