He takes it on every car ride, and reads it at night before turning out the light. He always has something he wants to show me or talk about with his grandfather (who is an auto mechanic). The text is just the right amount to satisfy curiosity without being overwhelming. The pictures are great. Descriptions are clear, and the discussion of the history and development of engines is really interesting. I'd say that any kid 8-teens with an interest in cars would be thrilled to have this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An entertaining read *by on Reviewed in the United States July 21, 2025* Funny and clearly explained. Kid already loves it already and we keep revisiting it as his understanding broadens. Good pictures, graphics, text - lots of stuff to keep it entertaining. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 Year old Nephew Obsessed *by on Reviewed in the United States February 15, 2024* my husband is a car enthusiast. he enjoys tinkering and rebuilding them. my nephew who is 4 has been obsessed with cars since he was old enough to talk. his other obsession is books and reading.my husband doesn't pay any attention to age appropriateness when it comes to toys and gifts for our nephews I guess because he assumes they are just as smart and curious as we were at their age?? anyway, he saw this book and bought it for my nephew. I know this book is intended for 7 years and up but my 4 year old nephew loves this book. there are plenty of pictures in the book and he does like those but he knows how to read and while he may not fully understand the entire concept yet of how engines and transmissions work he can follow along with the concepts loosely and he can explain it back to you. this is now his new favorite book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Car Science: An Under-the-Hood, Behind-the-Dash Look at How Cars Work - 100 Cars That Changed the World: The Designs, Engines, and Technologies That Drive Our Imaginations - Built for Speed: The World's Fastest Road Cars --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/4705304-car-science-an-under-the-hood-behind-the-dash-look](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/4705304-car-science-an-under-the-hood-behind-the-dash-look) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-10-31*
