Review by Booklist Review

The busy pages of these Explorers series books offer plenty of options for even the most curious readers. Thanks to the many potential paths through each book's pages, reading it always offers something new. You could follow the main text; the descriptive paragraphs related to the large, colorful photos and illustrations; or the numbered facts and captions at the top and bottom of the each page. Alternately, you could follow various bright icons to related illustrations around the book, treasure-hunt style. The unique More to Explore section at the end of the book provides additional information about items in the categories that the four icons represent. Things That Go includes engine power for vehicles ranging from giant dump trucks to a space rocket; science, such as streamlining vehicles for speed; safety first ; and people who work with vehicles. Without doubt, the Explorers books live up to their series name.--Aronin, Miriam Copyright 2010 Booklist
