Editorial Reviews

Capstone’s Pebble Plus imprint consistently features outstanding informational books for young children. The books combine a spacious format (excellent for use with groups) and highly appealing topics. The Mighty Machines 29-title series covers not only big trucks, such as cranes and earthmovers, but also fighter planes and military helicopters, subjects that are much harder to find for young enthusiasts. Although these titles are written at a level that preschoolers can understand, new readers will find them anything but babyish, and even more advanced readers will enjoy the additional information within the glossary.
