Review:

Booklist, April 1, 2007

“In their debut series for young people, the go-to publishers for automotive enthusiasts gets it right. These lavishly illustrated single-subject books, which include ‘Corvette’ and ‘Chopper,’ will be hot commodities with younger kids as well as car-obsessed teens.”

Note:  The series is one of ten selected by the American Library Association as the year’s top non-fiction picks launched in the last 12 months.

American Authors Association Web site, May 2006Reviewed by the Associate President“I personally recommend this book for all young male readers and those who are still young at heart! Choppers is given the American Authors Association’s highest rating for young readers – FIVE STARS!”

MPN, August 2006

“Targeted at readers ages 10 and older, Choppers and Harley-Davidson dish up all the details on the coolest bikes on the planet in a colorful, informative, easy-to-read format that’s exciting and engaging for young readers (dad might even pick it up, too!).

 

“In Choppers, bike builder and author Mike Seate immerses kid in the history of choppers and bobber with this book full of fun facts and wonderful full color photos."

 

Booklist, Aug. 1, 2006

“Photos on slick, heavy paper in gorgeous full color, typical of Motorbooks publications, will provide more than enough incentive to lure automotive junkies to the new Drive.Ride.Fly series. But there’s more to the books than pictures, there’s also enough intriguing, concisely present product/company history to appeal to sports car and motorcycle fans well beyond the book’s target audience ... There’s little question that this will whet the appetite for more, more, more.”
