von Finn, Denny. Apache Helicopters. Scholastic/Grolier 24p $23.00 978-0-531-2177-1 2013 elm/ms E-BN series: Military vehicles Nonfiction
This is an
outstanding book for young readers who are interested in military science and the aircraft that are used in
combat situations. The photographs of the helicopters,
their parts, their payload, and the missions
the helicopters fly will immediately captivate young readers. All the
photos are age-appropriate,
without blood or gore, yet they show the destructive power of the
Apache. This is
a perfect fit for all
elementary-school military and aviation
collections. The only quibble is on page 19, with the specifications of the
helicopter. The wide-font
style almost creates a blurry image on the page, compared to the crispness of the rest of the text. Glossary, suggestions for further
reading, and an
index complete the books in this series. This one is
suitable for grades 2-5.
