This book contains features on all the major Pixar movies, with the usual mix of stories, puzzles, games and activities. Cars is the new element in the mix, with a host of appealing new characters. Lightening McQueen is a hot rookie racing car, driven to succeed, who discovers that life is about the journey, not just the finish line, when he finds himself detoured in the sleepy Route 66 town of Radiator Springs. McQueen gets to know the town's offbeat characters - including Sally (a slick 2002 Porsche), Dock Hudson (a 1951 Hudson Hornet, voiced by Paul Newman) and Mater (a rusty but trusty tow-truck) - who help him realise that there are more important things than trophies - such as friendship.
