A book full of large cross sectional illustrations accompanied by detailed descriptions, and a pinpointed tour. Many different large artifacts are included such as Tank, Castle, Opera House etc.
Personal Reaction
Students of all ages love this series. You can really sit for hours looking at this book. Each sectional is accompanied by guides pointing to parts of the structure. We are introduced to the detailed inner workings of each subject in a full page, many of the pages are four page fold out illustrations. I'm a big fan of all these sectional nonfiction books for every grade. I think there is something here for everyone from Kindergarten to adult readers, which is pretty rare to be able to write a nonfiction book that broad.This series is a must have for every library.
