(4) 4-6 How It Works series. Illustrated by Alex Pang. Machines, vehicles, and other structures are presented on busy double-page spreads. Captioned photographs and diagrams appear with schematic-type cutaway diagrams of the objects (sometimes hard to interpret due to lack of fine detail and printing across the page gutter). Additional text boxes explain the mechanics of various related items (e.g., lights, propellers, solar cells), engineering concepts, historical facts, and the like. Glos., ind. Review covers these How It Works titles: Aircraft, Cars, Trucks, and Bikes, Emergency Vehicles, and Energy and Power.
