Amazon.com Review
Sam may be a man of few words, but he is certainly eloquent on the subject of his car. With a bright, bold palette of mostly primary colors, author-illustrator Byron Barton (Trucks, Planes, Machines at Work, etc.) deftly depicts the fondness Sam has for his chunky little car and the care with which he treats it. "I love my car. / I keep my car clean. / My car needs oil / and a full tank of gasoline." Sam also describes the parts of his car, how to drive carefully, and where he likes to go in his car. The story concludes with a twist, sure to delight already rapt readers. Sam and his acquaintances are unusual-looking, blocky figures, with big black blobs for eyes, and more blobs for nose and mouth. Characters and objects are reminiscent of the cars, signs, and figures in a child's play station. Small details are appealing: the mechanic is a woman, and the car's headlights bathe a portion of the text in yellow. This should be required reading for every driver's ed student; we can only hope that the repeated readings this book is bound to receive will sink in to preschoolers' minds for future recall: "I obey the laws. / I stop for pedestrians. / I read the signs." This is a lovely picture book. (Ages 2 to 5) --Emilie Coulter

 Cute educational book September 12, 2009

Wonderful art and educational book about cars and driving. My son loves the last page when he can beep along with Sam's bus. Got based on a recommendation and love it.

All of my kids love this book! It has bright, colorful illustrations and uses simple language, and kids just seem to love cars. I think ages 1-3 is the best age group for this book.
sweet book! June 26, 2009

My little grandson loved the book "My Car" at the library, so I bought it for him. It is a wonderful book, especially for little boys that love cars. The pictures are bright and clean, and the text introduces new words like "pedestrian" in a simple way.
Kinda' pricey April 29, 2009

It is a very cute story, with beautiful, bright illustrations. Perfect for my car-loving boy. But it cost about 30% more than I would usually pay for a board book.
Perfect for the car-loving toddler! August 1, 2008
K. Garis (Phoenix, AZ)
My 19 month old son LOVES cars. We checked this book out from the library and it is definitely my son's favorite book. I put it on my Amazon wish list, so hopefully someone will buy it for us. We've renewed the one we have 3 times now! :) The book has a lot of simple pictures of cars, simple words, and even a bus. My son gets very excited about the last page which has cars, a bus, and an airplane. My Car is a bedtime story request almost every night.
