From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6-Intended for casual browsing, these slim volumes feature cutaway illustrations, haphazardly labeled and surrounded by brief comments or anecdotes. A dozen spacecraft float through Space, from a Mercury capsule to the Hubble telescope, including Voskhod 2 and an Ariane rocket; the Cars depicted are evenly split between racing models and classics like the Austin Mini and a '57 Cadillac. The illustrators attempt to add individuality to each scene with human figures-a female astronaut demonstrates the "Manned (!) Maneuvering Unit," for instance, and a wounded soldier lies in the jeep-but much of the fine detail has been simplified, and the paintings have a generic look. Snippets of historical information and performance data make up the text; labels use mostly Americans terms (but mufflers are called "exhaust silencers"). Adequate, if unspectacular, alternatives to the "Easy Read Fact Books" (Watts) and other lookalike series.
