Weve all seen fire trucks racing through the streets. We know that these vehicles are taking firefighters to battle a blaze. But did you know that the trucks themselves are actually firefighting tools as well? This books lets you take a closer look inside this fire-fighting machine.

After working as an editor for several major children's book publishers, Joanne Mattern became the author of numerous nonfiction books for children. She especially loves writing about animals, sports, and interesting people and places. She lives in New York State with her husband, four children, and assorted pets.
Gr 1-3-These introductions to techno-wonders that most children are likely to encounter (submarines perhaps excepted) illustrate simple but not simplistic explanations of major functions and components with bright color photos and easy-to-comprehend labeled cutaway views. Lightbulbs, for example, not only illuminates the inner workings of the incandescent bulb (and some of its predecessors) but LEDs and CFLs, too. Each volume closes with a time line and a project ranging in challenge level from a soda bottle "submarine" to a basic paper airplane. Each also broadens its central topic with looks at special use variants, such as, in Toilets, a space toilet. VERDICT Newly independent readers will find any of these selections good first steps toward understanding the inner workings of their technological world.α(c) Copyright 2011.
