(4) 4-6 Why Things Don't Work series. This comic-book-format series explains the repair process of a specific vehicle. West ably describes the mechanics and science underlying each machine's design. While providing a solid overview, there is a lot of overlap and repetition among the books, and the framing device (the reader is helping to repair a vehicle) becomes a bit tedious. Diagrams are included. Glos., ind. Review covers these Why Things Don't Work titles: Helicopter, Motorcycle, Plane, Race Car, Tank, and Train.
