(4) K-3 Heinemann First Library: The History of Technology series. These two well-written titles for beginning readers use controlled vocabulary and concise texts to synthesize broad-ranging, complicated histories of technology. Circuit board–inspired graphics and historical illustrations and photographs add appeal. Unfortunately, neither book defines its central term (robots, transportation) and, for this age level, a timeline would have been useful to summarize each topic's span of history. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these Heinemann First Library: The History of Technology titles: The History of Robots and The History of Transportation.
