von Finn, Denny.  F-16 Fighting Falcons.  Scholastic Press  2013  24p     ISBN 978-0-531-25051-8      elem   series: Military Vehicles        VG  

Discover how Air Force pilots approach missions in the multi-role fighter, the F-16 Fighting Falcon.  There are always young readers fascinated by military vehicles.  These readers voraciously seek out and read every volume a library offers, no matter how simplistic or technical, on these fighting machines and their crews.  F-16 Fighting Falcons will effortlessly appeal to these readers, but casual readers will also be drawn to the book’s dramatic and dynamic two-page spreads.  The book’s appeal is in the photographs.  There are only one or two spare sentences per spread.  Although the facts presented are interesting, the information is also sparse.  It is a good choice for high-low readers. and a fine peripheral addition to established collections, with visual and topical appeal.
