Beautiful, colorful photography with accompanying clear and concise text makes these volumes extremely attractive for early readers. In 24 pages divided into four chapters, the authors examine a type of vehicle. The text concludes a description of the parts of each vehicle with accompanying photos, and an explanation of how they work. Personal use (electric car or dirt bike), professional use (semi truck or bulldozer), and community use (fire truck) vehicles are discussed. VERDICT These highly appealing books belong in every library serving little ones and will not spend much time on the shelf.
