Product Information

The first in a series of books by Elliot Kruszynski, exploring the histories of modern technologies, introduced and explained by a helpful (if somewhat arrogant) dog called Professor Wooford McPaw. Praise for The History of Cars ''A broad history, ideal for car lovers''.-- Kirkus ''Lots of vroom for car enthusiasts and history buffs alike''. -- Booklist ''Engagingly illustrated by Elliot Kruszynski, whose bright, clean, Scarry-esque style appeals to children across a broad age range. Unique, informative and entertaining''. -- Midwest Book Review ''A fun ride of car innovation and imagination sure to please every car enthusiast''. -- Youth Services Book Review ''This marvellous exploration of the history, design, engineering, technology and innovation of car-making is essential reading for any child with an interest in cars''. -- BookTrust ''A fantastic must-have book for any child with an interest in cars''. -- Just Imagine ''This is a great book for children as a introduction to the world of non-fiction books''. -- Reading Zone ''Cartoon style illustrations, and short bursts of text, make it easy to navigate and find fascinating facts. I hope there will be more from Elliot Kruszynski and Prof McPaw!'' -- My Shelves Are Full In this title, Professor McPaw explores the history of the car, starting with the steam engine in the early 1800s, the advent of the combustion engine in 1872, the popularisation of the car by Henry Ford in the early 1900s, the evolution of motor racing, luxury cars of the 1950s, the Japanese innovations of the 1970s, and finally the new technologies of electric and self-driving cars today. The book is engagingly illustrated by Elliot Kruszynski, whose bright, clean, informative style appeals to children across a broad age range. The Professor and his sidekick (in this case a car, but changing with each book), discuss the intricacies of historical episodes along the way, lending a humorous, personal touch. Comic strip interludes capture key moments, like the first cross-country road trip by the wife of Karl Benz, inventor of the first gas-powered car; or the advent of Ford's assembly line. Striking a refreshing balance between authoritative, clearly conveyed information, and witty, bright commentary, Professor McPaw will be a captivating tour-guide through the fascinating developments of the modern world.

Reviews
'Come and meet Professor Wooford McPaw and his trusty car sidekick as they take the reader on a historical journey about cars, something many of us cannot imagine a life without. Of course, with all inventions and discoveries, there was a time when cars did not exist and that is where this book begins, BC (Before Cars). The pages are filled with cartoon style illustrations, and short bursts of text, making it easy to navigate and find fascinating facts. Along this journey of discovery, we will traverse the world and time periods to find out about basic cars, luxury cars and everything in between. There is much to gain from reading this and my husband even picked it up to have a look inside, commenting on how he would have loved this as a child. Towards the end of the book, Prof McPaw looks at some of the weirdest cars, which really captured my imagination, and on cars of the future, which will inspire readers to dream of cars that drive themselves and cities banning cars in favour of public transportation. I hope there will be more from Elliot Kruszynski and Prof McPaw!' -- My Shelves Are Full 'This is a really informative book; it's easy to understand although there is a lot of information on each page - my husband and I have both learnt a lot whilst reading it to our daughter! It's clearly laid out, easy to follow and the facts are all supported by fun illustrations that help to explain. This non-fiction book has a contents page and an index and is a good introduction to the genre; the text is mostly presented in short, clear text boxes which make it more appealing to reluctant readers. This is a great book for children who have expressed an interest in motor vehicles, for learning about changes in technology over time or as a introduction to the world of non-fiction books'. -- Reading Zone 'I grew up with car-loving brothers and (not having learned my lesson!) married a car-lover, but fail to see the attraction myself. However, that said, this book offers an interesting and informative history with plenty of light-hearted, chatty asides from the Prof and his team. The book offers clear, concise explanations of key concepts and features. Key moments are told through cartoon strips. The story of Mrs Benz leaving her husband and driving long distance is presented in this way, making it easy to follow the key points. Professor Wooford and his car companion are always on hand with their commentary, adding a touch of humour as well as additional information. The illustrations are bright, bold and appealing. The little car has hidden five of the Professor's golden bones throughout the book for the reader to find whilst reading and there is a maze to solve to help the Prof and his car find fuel. The book uses American terminology - sedan, gas station, minivan- but nothing which would stop it being enjoyed or understood here in the UK. Professor Wooford McPaw makes it clear at the end of the book that he is thinking of writing a book about astronomy next. We're looking forward to reading that one!' -- North Somerset Teacher's Book Award 'The vibrant cartoon illustrations are crisp and humorous, and provide a wealth of visual information to complement the interesting text. There are diagrams to show how a car works, pictures of iconic vehicles and a page showcasing some of the weirdest cars of all time. This marvellous exploration of the history, design, engineering, technology and innovation of car-making is essential reading for any child with an interest in cars'. -- BOOKTRUST, 'The vibrant cartoon illustrations are crisp and humorous, and provide a wealth of visual information to complement the interesting text. There are diagrams to show how a car works, pictures of iconic vehicles and a page showcasing some of the weirdest cars of all time. This marvellous exploration of the history, design, engineering, technology and innovation of car-making is essential reading for any child with an interest in cars.' -- BOOKTRUST, 'Professor Wooford McPaw knows 'lots of things about lots of things' and in this book, shares his 'immense knowledge' about the world of cars. Starting with B.C (before cars), the book explores the history of cars from the earliest models to considering those of the future. I grew up with car-loving brothers and (not having learned my lesson!) married a car-lover, but fail to see the attraction myself.
