"Nahum, Andrew. Flying Machine, Knopf, 62 pages. Non-fiction, work on a single topic.
Description: Flying Machine provides information on various types of planes, helicopters, hot-air balloons and other flying machines through the use of photos, cross-sections and short paragraphs of annotative text.
Review: This book is packed with information about all kinds of flying machines. Children who are very interested in the topic--or who are interested in how things work generally--will find a wealth of information presented in a non-linear way. Pictures of flight related objects are scattered across the page, with each part of the object labeled and described. Sketches and short paragraphs of text accompany the images. For kids who are used to scanning web pages for content, this format will seem familiar. Some children may be overwhelmed, however, with the crammed layout. For children who are not yet fluent in silent reading, the small text may also present a problem.
Professional Reviews:
Brouse, Ann G. School Library Journal, January, 1991. Brouse emphasizes the photo quality in this book and how the photos contrast nicely with the white background. I agree that Flying Machine is visually engaging and well-presented. Brouse also mentions the book's focus on British flying machines, which I had not noticed. I don't think that this emphasis is problematic in any way.
I could only find one professional review for this title."
