Cars need more than gas to keep running—and every fluid has a job to do.

Jack’s Garage: Fluids Maintenance for Kids introduces young car enthusiasts to the important fluids that help vehicles operate safely and efficiently.

Written by young automotive author Jack Scudder, this illustrated nonfiction guide explains basic vehicle-fluid maintenance in a clear, kid-friendly way, helping curious readers understand what happens under the hood and why routine car care matters.

Young readers will learn about:

• Engine coolant and temperature control
• Brake fluid and braking systems
• Transmission fluid
• Windshield washer fluid
• Power steering and other vehicle fluids
• How and why fluid levels are checked

Part of the Jack’s Garage series of practical automotive books for young readers.

Because under the hood, even the stuff that sloshes around has an important job.

Jack is the best-selling author of Jack's Garage: Tire Maintenance for Kids and has big goals for his maintenance series! He wants to see more kids understand the inner workings of cars and trucks so that they know how to take care of them as they get older and start buying their own vehicles. Jack started working on vehicles alongside his dad when he was about 3 years old. Even if he was just holding a screwdriver off to the side, he was carefully observing and asking a ton of questions. When Dad didn't know the answer, the two would sit side-by-side and look it up together. Once he mastered his first Radio Flyer tricycle, he moved on to scooters, motorcycles, tractors, cars, trucks (and even boats!). He's not afraid to get insanely dirty (much to Mom's chagrin) and knows more about carburetors than Crayola.
