(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Hans Jenssen. Presented in alphabetical order, from the Airboard™ Personal Hovercraft to the Zil-2906 (an amphibious truck), each unusual vehicle is afforded a double-page spread featuring realistic illustrations, diagrams, and an entertaining and informative text. Hearst provides a description of the conveyance, its manufacturer, and date(s) of production. The entries include a selection of sidebars: trivia, true/false questions, technology details, "Did You Know?" boxes, the occasional silly poem, and Hearst's irreverent comments. Drive all the way through from start to finish, or chart your own course.

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Richard Chasemore & Hans Jenssen. Cross-Sections offers highly detailed cutaway illustrations (a magnifying glass and tenacity may be needed) of over a dozen futuristic vehicles, along with text describing the conveyances. Dictionary examines the characters, technology, and vehicles featured in the films as if they were real; a succinct text identifies components of the photos in an overly busy design.
