My family would like to share a new addition to our Christmas Gift Guide 25: Formula Fast Your Ultimate Guide To Formula One Racing by Matt Ralphs (Author), Dragan Kordic (Artist). Inside this post is my affiliate link. If you click on the link and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the products, you purchase.
David and I’ve always enjoyed racing and even been to a couple different racetracks to watch races but on day I would like to attend Formula One and that is why it’s on my Bucket List. Not only that Charlie, David and I love unique fast cars.
Even though Formula Fast Your Ultimate Guide To Formula One Racing is for younger children there was so many teaching moments in the book that David and Charlie have added it to our library. If we had been #Homeschooling full time we would have used the book when studying automobiles, transportation and so much more.
I love how the table of contents has a racetrack highlighting the chapters. I like how the Author ask us questions we can discuss with our family. The illustrations in the book kept Charlie and David browsing through the book for hours on end.
Charlie’s favorite part of the book was legendary cars. David liked In The Cockpit. I liked Formal Female. My family also enjoyed learning about riders we hadn’t heard of which would have made a great toll when #Homeschooling. Charlie and David even enjoyed the glossary and learning words they didn’t know.
