A Book I Read . . .

When I was five, someone gave me a big, purple book about the history of cars. I'm sorry but I've long forgotten the title and author, but I remember all the details of the information. At first I had no interest in reading the huge and intimidating book, I didn't even open it until a few years later when I was seven. When I opened the book, I ws surprised, the book was full of pictures and text filling the page with just the perfect amount of words.

As I read it, my interest in cars grew bigger and bigger, I started to memorize the car brands of passing cars and their logos. My dad then gave me a huge collection of 'Hot Wheels' and 'Matchbox' car models. Soon I had a huge shelf with the cars displayed on them, I kept on reading until the end and I was shocked with the outcome of the book. The book included information about the first forms of transport, horse carriages, to the modern cars. It also talks about army vehicles, trucks, buses, and even the biggest vehicle made!

I really enjoyed this book, and now I have a clear idea of the timeline of cars. And this book not only talks about cars but planes and boats too. 

Have you read anything related to the history of vehicles?
