Young readers often like to learn about vehicles, and these series titles provide a good opportunity to do so. Large photographs, large fonts, and limited text (two to three sentences per page) work together to appeal to children who want to explore various vehicle types. One note: the title suggests that there will be explanations of the inner workings of the vehicles, but only a few parts are mentioned or named on the vehicle’s parts page. Each title includes a brief glossary, a few resource links, and a few index terms.
