The book traces transportation from the first wheel to newer developments, including hybrids, and presents facts about vehicles and record breakers.
Examples range from cars, trains and boats to tanks, fighter jets, hot-air balloons and manned spacecraft.
Consider whether the child wants a fact-and-picture reference book rather than a story. The range includes civilian, sporting, luxury, industrial, military and space-related vehicles, so interests may vary across sections.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
