Kate is an experienced writer of children's non-fiction books.
Grade 2-3–Striking close-up photos of these powerful machines are not enough to salvage these texts. Vocabulary is limited, as is content. Most readers will already know that strong (meaning powerful) engines help the machines go fast (a fact mentioned in each title) and that the driver controls where the motorcycle goes. It is debatable that most commercial jets are wide body planes, as stated in Jets. The same book's glossary defines narrow body as skinny, not wide. Aircraft engineers would be surprised to learn that they build and fix jet engines. Military jets are mentioned in passing, and freight-hauling jets are omitted entirely. Motorcycles and Speedboats do not have as many questionable statements. They just don't say anything. The other three titles in this series were not available for review.
