From the Dream Jobs series, this short, colorfully illustrated book introduces the sport of stock-car racing and shows the drivers in their cars, signing autographs, and working for charity. A typical double-page spread includes a clear photo on one page, facing a short, large-print paragraph or two on a topic such as race-car safety, pit stops, or the Daytona 500. The brevity of the text precludes much depth. The book concludes with a glossary and a publisher-supported link to Web sites related to the subject. Readers led by the career-oriented series title to expect information on how to become a race-car driver will not find much here, but this will be a useful addition to libraries serving young racing fans.
