Fire Engines Up Close

48 pp. | Sterling | March, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4027-4798-4 $9.95
(4) 4-6 These oversize books feature large captioned photos (many close up and actual size), multiple foldout pages, and accessible texts. The machines' structures, functions, and terminologies are adequately explained, though a glossary would have been helpful. The appeal of these volumes is their gimmicky design; transportation/machine fans will excitedly pore over the posterlike pictures. Ind. Review covers these titles:Fighter Planes Up Close, Fire Engines Up Close, Heavy Equipment Up Close, and Submarines Up Close.
