This nonfiction title explores the various colors of racecars that can be seen on a day spent at the races. Readers go behind the scenes at the racetrack to learn what the different colored flags mean during a race. Other concepts such as differentiating standings in a race and identifying racetrack workers are also highlighted in the text. Color associations are a recurring theme throughout the title to meet early elementary curriculum standards. Full-color photographs bring the information to life and help early readers make connections with the text.
