(3) K-3 Illustrated by Stephen Biesty. Meet the Airbus A380®, the Russian Mil Mi-26 helicopter, and six other vehicles that carry goods and people on land, sea, and air. Double-page spreads feature well-labeled, detailed drawings with flaps carefully positioned to reveal the internal workings of each transport marvel. Despite the heavy-stock pages, this isn't a book for toddlers: it's a sturdy and engaging diversion for elementary-age vehicle fans.
