Illustrated by
Eda Kaban.
In this charming follow-up to Old MacDonald Had a Truck, the farm's mister and missus use an electric saw ("With a BUZZ BUZZ here and a BUZZ BUZZ there"), a hammer ("BANG BANG"), and more to spruce up an old boat and build a ramp for the book's grand finale. The art teems with farm animals, many of them unexpectedly handy--and dexterous on water skis.

Super Sports series.
Adventurous activities in the air, on the water, and through all types of rough terrain are presented in the books in this series. A collage of color photographs and straightforward text reveal the excitement and adrenaline involved in each sport. This is not a "how-to" series, and the entries are sometimes disappointingly shallow, but the glimpse into several outdoor sports is enticing. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Super Sports titles: Air Sports, All-Terrain Bikes, Rock Climbing and Mountaineering, Snow Sports, Water Sports.]

Extreme Sports series.
Bold, energetic color photographs capture the excitement of these "extreme" sports. Short chapters written in a simple, accessible--if somewhat bland--style introduce the skills, equipment, and safety precautions required. Acknowledging the level of difficulty involved in these daring sports, the volumes are more surveys than "how-to" books. Bib., glos., ind.
