This terrific book is destined to be a serious resource for kids of all ages for a long time! It has wonderful photos, just the right amount of facts, and is written very well. Historically arranged, we follow the amazing development of moving vehicles, and learn their speed records for land, sea and air.For example:Did you know that the Wright Brothers first flew at only 30 miles per hour? Or that only 6 years after that first ever airplane flight, a French made plane flew all the way across the English Channel? Or that in 1997 a special racecar set the world land speed record going 763 miles per hour!? And it broke the sound barrier driving on the ground?I didn't know any of that, either. I think you're going to love this book!
