- Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2023Got this book for my nephew’s 6th birthday and it is BEYOND adorable! We got into F1 racing together in 2020 and he’s fallen head over heels for anything F1 related. I know he’s gonna flip over the book, I know I did!
It’s adorably illustrated, breaks down the terms of racing talk and car-parts to where kids can understand (but also not in a babyish way). I went ahead and ordered the “All About Racecars” book from RedRacerBooks.com for his Christmas gift :)
Cannot recommend enough how much this is a great book for kids who are new to racing or racing fans with looking to get their kids reading!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2024Bought for my son and his baby girl. He liked that it was official and not a knock off. Photos are great, too!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2022My kids and I love this book! It is a fantastic children’s book for Formula 1 fans, or for any kids who just love cars or racing. I love that the book is packed with STEM learning at a level that is engaging for kids (and adults!!) The illustrations are spectacular - I get distracted looking at the beautiful pictures when I’m reading to my kids. I also love that the book is not geared towards boys — it has diverse characters so all kids can see themselves in Formula 1. This is the kind of book kids will want to read again and again.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2023I recently got into F1 racing and got this book for my two boys (5 and 3 yo). They love it and it’s been so great to get them excited about F1 racing.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2024Decent book for kids, with gorgeous drawings. It’s clear the author is new to F1 and racing, but also that he tried to research it well. My 5 y/o enjoys it and it’s a *lot* better than any other kids “car” or “racing” books out there
- Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2024Such a great book, very cute!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2022I bought this book for a friend having a baby, I believe I saw this on an Instagram or Facebook ad. Once I got the book and read through it, I purchased one for myself and I do not even have kids, this really shows how great the book is. The people I bought the book for loved it as well because they are huge F1 fans.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2022I was really excited to buy this book for my girls and as gifts. It was more for the parents to share their enthusiasm for f1 racing with their own kids and raise the next-gen of f1 enthusiasts. After reading it though, I have to say I learned the proper terms for some of the things I've seen on the track too!
I recommend it both as a gift and for your own children's library.
