Description

Buster and his team visit a spooky car graveyard! From NASCAR legend and New York Times bestselling author Dale Earnhardt Jr. comes Buster and the Race Car Graveyard, the fourth book in the popular Buster the Race Car series.

When the Punchy Motorsports team goes on a hair-raising ride through a graveyard, Jimmy Jam's sheen begins to pale. He looks like he's seen a ghost--and maybe he has! Buster wants to encourage Jimmy Jam to keep going, and Jimmy Jam wants to turn taillights and run. But when Scuff is in trouble, will Jimmy Jam face the haunting boos in the dark woods to help a not-so-friendly friend?

This picture book

is for ages 4 to 8;
teaches kids that bravery isn't the absence of fears but the willingness to face them; and
is a great read for Halloween, camping trips, or the fall season.

Do you dare to join Buster and Jimmy Jam on this spooky adventure?

What a cute story for our littlest readers. My three year old saw the cover of this book and said “ohh that one!” When given an option of several bedtime stories. Cars are always a win in our house!

Buster and his friends are off on a spooky adventure through a haunted car graveyard. Along the way, the group of friends enjoy a laugh, learn empathy for each other, and learn to be brave. And of course, don’t worry, the ghosts are nice!

We really enjoyed the story and the art work in this book. Thank you to NetGalley and Tommy Nelson for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

My kids absolutely LOVED watching the Daytona 500- so this was such a fun book to read with my three little boys under five. The story was so fun, and the pictures were wonderfully done. Highly recommend adding this to your sweet boys bookshelf.

I want to say thank you to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for all allowing me and my children the privilege of being able to read this book.

I was so excited to see a kids book written by Dale Earnhardt Jr. I grew up in a family of diehard Nascar watchers and the both he and his father and are and were well loved in our home. We've never gotten our hands on one of his kids books before and as soon as this one is published it and the rest will be coming home with us! That has nothing to do with the Nascar love and references throughout this book. It has to do with the extremely well thought out story, the beautiful pictures and the way my kids attention stayed on this story. They're 8 and 10 and love cars and this the first book in a really long while we're they both say waiting for me to read each page to them. A lot of kids books are anymore slightly directed at being silly well trying to instill a message oftentimes it happens a lot so the message gets missed in the fun. Well my kids thought this was fun and a really good read, I think they actually got the message of the story and it was a beautiful and very good one at that!

So thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart for allowing me and my children to enjoy this book so much! We can't wait until we bring it and the others home to us!
