Speed Zone series.
This series profiles U.S. military vessels. Each double-page spread focuses on a particular topic, including parts of the ship, how it's constructed, how it's used, and some history. The brief, simplistic texts are easy to read and the plentiful photographs should appeal to reluctant readers, but the page design is occasionally overwhelming. Glos., ind. Review covers these Military Ships titles: Destroyers, Aircraft Carriers, Amphibious Assault Ships, and Cruisers.
