Record Breakers: The Fastest

48 pp. | Kingfisher/Macmillan | December, 2012 | Library ISBN 978-0-7534-6907-1 $12.99
(4) K-3 Kingfisher Readers series. This random collection of facts is suitable for browsing, but with no context for the information, the book doesn't offer confident readers much more than trivia. A brief history of people's need for speed is followed by two-page chapters such as "Fastest on Water," "Speedy Winter Sports," and "Fastest Dinosaurs." The text is supported by fact boxes, photographs, and illustrations. Glos., ind.
