What kind of book is it?
‘Motor Fan for KIDS: All About Cars Vol. 4,’ a gift for boys and girls who love cars, was released by SAN-EI on September 10th. This children’s automotive magazine was created by a team of professional car magazine editors with the desire to ‘increase the number of kids who love cars!’ and ‘encourage parents and children to enjoy cars together.’ It offers content that is both visually engaging and enjoyable to read.
The magazine is primarily aimed at children from preschool age to lower elementary school grades, with the goal of making the mechanics, types, and history of cars easy to understand. It uses a lot of illustrations and photographs, and all kanji characters have furigana*, ensuring that even children who have not yet learned kanji can read it.
*Furigana : Small hiragana characters written above or beside kanji to show their pronunciation, helping children and beginners read and understand Japanese text more easily.
In addition to information about new cars, the magazine includes car-related trivia and covers not only the mechanics of cars but also their safety and traffic safety. It satisfies the curiosity of children who are interested in cars.
Furthermore, the in-depth content on the features and mechanisms of the latest models makes it enjoyable not only for children of various ages but also for adults. It’s a book that parents and children can enjoy and learn from together.
In Vol. 4, the workings of engines and motors, as well as future cars, are clearly explained, allowing readers to learn about topics that might have been too embarrassing to ask as adults. It has been crafted as a useful book for both young people and adults.
Let’s draw a car !!
And on pages 56 to 59, in the section ‘Let’s Have Fun Drawing Cars!!,’ the editor-in-chief of CarStyling introduces how to draw cars. You can also get a glimpse of what car designers think about while sketching new car designs.
It will serve as a valuable reference for young people aspiring to become car designers, helping them grasp essential tips and learn the theory behind achieving proper balance and proportions in car design.
