Penguin Core Concepts series.
In a series designed to teach "core concepts" to younger children, this title addresses "problem solving" and "transportation." Accompanied by color photos, a scattershot narrative illustrates helicopters in action, solving problems such as forest fires, and also briefly discusses how helicopters developed, why they are useful as transportation, and their mechanical parts. An introduction that focuses on purpose rather than detail.
