(4) K-3 Illustrated by Aaron Zenz. A boy tours an aircraft carrier, accompanied by Lieutenant Jake Guttman (a.k.a. Gutts). The text of this well-illustrated picture book is almost exclusively military jargon ("Let's check out my bird in the hanger"); key terms are defined at the bottom of each double-page spread. Readers interested in the subject will be enthralled while everyone else will be utterly stumped. Reading list, websites. Bib.
