K-3Now That's Big! series.
This series introduces young vehicle buffs to huge, record-breaking machinery, including aircraft, mining equipment, and ships. Accessible texts describe the uses and history of each machine, and final spreads provide useful pictorial size comparisons. The large glossy photographs are impressive, but the brief captions are sometimes unclear; dull cover art dryly advertises the series, not the individual machines. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Now That's Big! titles: Antonov An-225 Mriya, Krupp Digging Machines, Mil Mi-26, Nimitz Aircraft Carrier, Oasis of the Seas, and Overburden Conveyor Bridge F60.
