Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6. Jets and Tanks join the plethora of cross-section titles now flooding the market. The topics and colorful covers will attract audiences too young for the text and vocabulary. The main text is often vague as to the origin of the vehicles. Four to six paragraphs of additional information are scattered around the edges of the main illustration. The two-page chapters are filled with detailed drawings of cutaway and dismantled vehicles with various parts labeled. A technical data box contains a scale-model line-drawing of each vehicle. The views and information given in these boxes are not consistent from one page to the next. Skip these offerings in favor of the more standard titles.?Eldon Younce, Harper Elementary School, KS

5.0 out of 5 stars
Surprisingly fun for kids of all ages!,
By K.W. (American Fork, UT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jets (Look Inside Cross Sections) (Paperback)
I found this book to be too full of information to be a comfortable bedtime book, but my four year old son didn't seem to mind my skipping the words and just ooh-ing and aah-ing over the illustrations with him. My son also preferred my reading of it over his father's, because dad would get so absorbed in each page that he would forget to turn the pages! My son especially loved being able to know the names of all the parts of the jets and incorporated his new terminology in his play. This book is a definite must in any household with little pilots!
