Read along with Disney! As a daredevil, Mater the Greater performs terrifying stunts in front of huge audiences. He leaps over long lines of cars, shoots through a ring of flames, even rides on the wings of an airplane! Will he be able to perform his biggest stunt yet?

In this collection of tales, Mater spins his stories of his past as a matador, a daredevil stunt car, and the hero of a rescue-squad unit.

Mater always has an outrageous story to tell his friends. From a drift race through Tokyo and a bulldozer fight in Spain to a fire-squad rescue misson and a stunt jump across Carburetor Canyon, Mater’s tall tales make his friends wonder. . . . Was he really a world-champion monster truck wrestler? Even Mater’s best friend, Lightning McQueen, isn’t quite sure—although he’s part of each wild adventure! To add to the fun, all nine Cars Toons feature full-color images on every page.

Mater the tow truck tells race car Lightning McQueen far-fetched stories about how he used to be a rockstar, a UFO, and a drifting king.

In the tradition of the smash hits Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, and The Incredibles comes the newest film from Pixar Animation Studios, Cars, the story of a race car who learns that it's not all about the fast lane.
