The Art of Racing in the Rain Resources

Need more racing action? A good place to start is Garth Stein's website, where he has fun facts about the writing process, a synopsis of his works, and an entire page dedicated to The Art of Racing in the Rain.

In case you're looking for something equally uplifting and tail wagging, look no further than A Dog's Purpose. It's not related to The Art of Racing in the Rain, but we think Bailey and Enzo would be good friends.

There's no movie adaptation of this book yet, but don't fear: Disney, that movie-making monolith, has nabbed up the movie rights, and there will probably be some tail-wagging fun sometime soon. We'll just impatiently sit on our paws while we wait.

Among the other goodies on Garth Stein's website is this FAQ about where the idea for Enzo came from, why he chose racing as the sporting analogy of choice, and who exactly the Muggs from the dedication is.

Both Kirkus Review and Publishers Weekly posted this book review in anticipation of the book's release.

Among Enzo's idols, Ayrton Senna, a racecar driver whose unexpected death proved a loss to the racing community, receives repeated mention. So, who was he, anyway?

Since we'll be waiting for that movie adaptation for a while, may we recommend the book trailer?

Feeling the burn of the rubber and the squeal of the tires isn't that hard once you've seen this video about what goes into preparing for the Indy 500.

Like pretty much everything else about Enzo, this song might make you cry.

We know racecars are basically cars that go really fast, but what makes them special?

It's Denny and Zoë's new home, and it's also the home of the Grand Prix circuit, where Denny becomes a famous racer.
