Curious about Lowriders
From the Series Curious about Cool Rides
How do you make a lowrider bounce? Spark early readers' natural curiosity about cool rides with this inquirybased nonfiction approach to lowriders.
Lowriding means riding low and slow in a mobile work of art. Popularized in the 1940s by Mexican Americans in California, lowriding became a way to show pride in Chicano culture. Later, added hydraulic suspensions let the cars move up and down as if they were dancing. Appeal to budding car lovers with this questionandanswer book covering lowrider parts, paint jobs, and history. Simple infographics draw in browsers and visual learners.
A Stay Curious! feature encourages kids to keep asking questions while doubling as a mini media literacy lesson on research skills. Includes table of contents, glossary, and index.
