Curious about Indy Cars
From the Series Curious about Cool Rides
What's it like to drive an Indy car? Spark early readers' natural curiosity about racing with this inquirybased nonfiction approach to Indy cars.
Indy car drivers get a real workout. In the Indianapolis 500, drivers go 200 laps, driving for about 3 hours. There's no power steering and braking takes about 100 pounds of force each time. Appeal to budding racers with this questionandanswer book covering Indy car parts, fuel, and how they differ from other race cars. Simple infographics draw in browsers and visual learners.
A Stay Curious! feature encourages kids to keep asking questions while doubling as a mini media literacy lesson on research skills. Includes table of contents, glossary, and index.
