Transportation!: Cars, Trains, Ships and Planes as You've Never Seen Them Before
A complete children's transportation encyclopedia, explaining how road, rail, air, and water vehicles get us from A to B.
Knowledge Transportation! uses incredibly detailed 3D illustrations to show you everything you need to know about how vehicles work. Peer inside a car engine, feel the roar of a jet, watch a helicopter's rotor create lift, and explore below the decks of an ocean liner.
Meet hundreds of vehicles that float, fly, or speed across the land, including the record breakers—the fastest, largest, longest, and strangest modes of transportation ever to zoom, sail, or soar. And check out current and future craft that use green energy to transport people and goods around the world.
Part of DK's hugely successful Knowledge Encyclopedia series, this is the perfect gift for young transportation enthusiasts, who are curious about motors and machines.

Yet another excellent encyclopedia from DK publishing, this one about transportation: cars, trains, ships, planes, and spacecraft.
The full-color illustrations are engaging and many have cross-sections showing the parts of the vehicle in question. There are many different kinds of vehicles represented here, from the invention of the vehicle to its most modern iteration.
Kiddo (10) loves these encyclopedias and was engrossed as he read it.
*Thanks to DK Children for providing an early copy for review.
