Gr 1–3—Young military enthusiasts will greatly appreciate these six volumes featuring vehicles employed by the various United States armed forces. Large photographs of the respective weapons encompass entire pages while boxes encase accompanying text. Interesting facts are related; readers learn aircraft carriers are huge ships with long, flat decks, jet engines help move fighter jets forward, and helicopters can fly backward. Brief mentions of the history of each vehicle include facts sure to captivate readers, such as that the first tanks were made over 100 years ago. Large, colorful photographs are the real draw, and the text and illustrations combine to make these titles excellent, age-appropriate introductions to the various craft currently used by the military. VERDICT The facts and photos will entice browsers; selectors should consider for elementary collections.
