From School Library Journal:
Gr 2-5-In each of these unabashed browsing items (they don't contain introductions or conclusions and the text is spare), a spread is devoted to one of 13 high-interest vehicles. For example, Vehicles has sections on the Bronto Skylift fire truck, R44 Helicopter, and Marine Protector Class Coast Guard patrol boat, among other machines. On each spread, a large photo of the melodramatically posed machine is flanked by smaller pictures and text boxes with "Stats & Facts" or "Did You Know?" tidbits of information. Though some entries aren't all that "wild" (a John Deere combine harvester in Trucks, for instance, and a Chinese junk in Boats), they're all eye candy, making this set equally enticing for new or reluctant readers.α(c) Copyright 2011.
