Cars 3: The Essential Guide

pixar cars 3 the essential guide book review

As you know, loads of books accompany the release of every Pixar film and sometimes it can get overwhelming. Which ones do I go for? For me, it helps to start with the old tried and true staples that you can always count on: The "Art of" book, the Big and Little Golden books, the sticker/coloring books and The Essential Guide.

I've been collecting the Pixar Essential Guides (by DK Publishing) for many years, so I knew long before this Cars 3 edition was technically even announced that I would be snagging it (and I'll be doing the same for Coco, The Incredibles 2, Toy Story 4 and many more down the road. See what I mean?). Let's dive into this one and take a peek inside!

If you're unfamiliar with this ongoing series, here's the scoop. These pages are chock-full of fun tidbits, colorful images (both rendered and illustrated) and story points relating to whatever the film it may be—in this case Cars 3. You'll find lots of character profiles (i.e. traits, thoughts, backstory), diagrams, trivia ("Did you know?" facts and "True or False"), key locations, quotes, stats and much more. This one even has a fun little quiz in the back titled "What Sort of Racer Are You?" and an "Exclusive Interview" with Cruz Ramirez and Lightning McQueen. So you get it...stuff like that! The content is mainly geared towards young kids, but it's ultimately info any fan of any age can enjoy reading.

And check it out! For the first time, you can take a look inside Lightning McQueen and Jackson Storm. Ever wonder what it's like under their hoods? Well now you know (and this proves that ridiculous theory wrong about the cars being organic creatures with biological innards protected by a car-like exoskeleton. Yes folks, that's really a theory out there).
