The classic story of CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG has been adapted for the Beginner Book series. The magical car's famous adventures will delight beginner readers, as will the bold illustrations. 'I can read it all by myself' is the Beginner Books motto, and behind it is an understanding of how important it is for children to take pride and pleasure in their early reading. Beginner Books have been designed to appeal directly to children through the use of humour, rhyme, and bright pictures that can be 'read' even by the non-reading child. Some Beginner Books are simple stories, others are hilarious nonsense: both types have been designed to give children confidence and make them want to go on reading.

Review: Al Perkins does an amazing job with adapting Ian Fleming's story of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for beginning readers. Personally, I have read Ian Fleming's version and children who are beginning to read longer books would have a hard time following along. Perkins version simplifies the story, while still keeping the readers engaged, such as when Perkins states, "She dove straight toward the waves" (p. 15). Perkins quote about the car nosediving into the water could have been elaborate in detail, but instead he stated the facts and kept moving forward with the story to help keep the reader engaged and focused. The sentence structures are beginning to become complex; therefore, challenging the readers, while still allowing them to enjoy the magical content of the book.
The central theme of Perkins adapted version of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! is that everything is possible if a reader just believes. All young readers have ridden in cars enough to know that cars drive on the ground; they do not fly. The books characters Jeremy and Jemima Pott did not seem at all too concerned with finding out that they're car could fly, so young readers could learn that it is okay when things do not go as planned.
