Reviews for Eat My Dust! Henry Ford's First Race

[cheryl_in_cc_nv · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Well-done, great for early readers & fans of cars or racing or even history. I like the photo in the note at the end, that proves it's a true story. And it's a story I never knew, so that's cool. Good message about perseverance, too.
