the air: Cargo Planes. Morgan Reynolds 2014 64p $27.45 ISBN 978-155935-380-7 ms/hs series: The Military Experience, In the
Air Nonfiction VG-BN
Air cargo planes are the giants of the sky. This book tells their
story and shows readers that they are bigger, stronger and faster than all other kinds of airplanes. First-person narratives,
quick fact boxes, and color photos augment the text. Grades 6-12.
After the crucial necessity of
an informative text, the second
most important factor in a book for young
readers is its
visual appeal.
The page layout is diverse and well balanced between text and full-color illustrations
and photographs, so that concepts are grouped together. The flow and balance between the text and
visuals are integrated to present a most
stimulating book for young and reluctant readers. The inclusion of a
glossary, bibliography, a list of Internet sites, and an index make the books in this series very useful for
librarians as well.
The Military Experience, In the Air series contains seven titles. Each covers a specific kind of aircraft, and one book discusses the training necessary to be a pilot. The books feature crisp color photos, easy-reading, informative text, quick-fact boxes, and first-person narratives. Gr 6-12.
