(4) K-3 Eyewitness Readers series. Showcasing "some of the weirdest machines on earth," this book describes drag cars, powerboats, and the space shuttle, among others. The color photographs and illustrations will draw speed-loving readers, but the writing doesn't really convey the excitement of the vehicles. The pictures and captions in the book's wide margins distract from the main text. Glos.
