ReviewedFord has come a long way since its Model T beginnings! The company has grown to develop some of the United States’ most popular pickup trucks. The Ford F-150’s numerous models and special fuel-saving alloy bodies make this model a fit for everyone. Young readers can hop behind the wheel of the Ford F-150 in this engine-revving title.
Truck fans rejoice! This series provides students with a glimpse of some of the toughest trucks on the road today. Showcasing vehicles from industry-leading manufacturers, such as Chevrolet, Ford, and Dodge, each book takes readers on an off-road journey through the truck’s history, recent developments, features, technology, and future possibilities. Clear-cut language and concise sentences make the content easily accessible to readers of varying abilities, while the glossy images reflect the text well. Specific details, including speed and horsepower, are included in sidebars that also address ways to identify each model as well as the specifications for the 2018 models. VERDICT Although aimed at “reluctant” readers, this series has the potential to appeal to a broad audience. Robust collections may want to consider.
