K-3Did You Know? series.
Illustrated by
Pete Oswald
&
Aaron Spurgeon.
These numerous bites of transportation-related information appear in a catchy Q-and-A format that is only occasionally distorted to achieve the gee-whiz factor (e.g., the illustration of wildlife crossing bridges relates rather confusingly to the text).
