Aircraft Carriers (Pull Ahead Books ― Mighty Movers)

This is a soft cover book that has 32 pages (actual numbering). The book's odd dimension is 7" in length, and just over 6" in width. The story content is 24 pages. Each page has one large picture, and 1 - 3 sentences explaining the picture. The order is logical and easy for young kids to understand.At the end of the book, one page is dedicated for aircraft carrier facts, one page visually identifies key area/component of the carrier, one for glossary, and one is index. Others pages are for credits.This book is useful when kids (age 4 - 7) are just getting into battle ships. Together with intro to play the Battleship game, a visit to an actually battleship (e.g., U.S.S. Midway in San Diego), and showing parts of movies that has aircraft carriers (e.g., Top Gun, Transformer 2), the kids will have long lasting knowledge and appreciation of this heart-of-the-fleets ship.

I chose this book for my first grade classroom library. It was great to find a high-interest nonfiction topic written to be read by newer readers. This book has plenty of information about aircraft carriers but still remains relatively simple in vocabulary and text layout. It is Fountas & Pinnell level "N" or level 20. Children who are just learning to read will either "read the pictures" or will need some help with the words. Children who have been reading a little longer will be able to read this book independently. The book includes a few nonfiction text features: bold print, fun facts, diagram, glossary, index, and about the author. It is part of a series of books by Lerner Publications (Pull Ahead Books). I look forward to adding more titles to our library!

My 4yr old loves the book. He became enthralled with aircraft carriers several months ago, and we made a trip to San Diego to see the USS Midway. (A must-see if you go there) We didn't know much about the workings of the carrier, so this book was a nice low-level overview of the operation of this ship, it's purpose, and some interaction with other ships. It's probably a little understated for older kids, but I think its great for 3-6 yr olds.

Perfect simple book that my 5 year old grandson loved us talking about

Great book for a youngster

This tiny book is full of interesting and informative information about aircraft carriers. Grade school children would enjoy it. It's an easy read. The pictures are very nice. Even though the book is small, it does a great job of discussing to how an aircraft carrier works and how it is managed.Highly recommended as an introductory book.

Not really worth $8 if you ask me, some basic pictures and generic 'facts' (e.g. "Airplanes land on the deck"). Plus this book is tiny, looks big in pics but it's barely the size of a 4x6 photo.

Great book. My son loved it and the pictures were great too.

There should be more information about how age appropriate this book is. This book is suitable for a beginning reader. I bought this book for a special needs teenager who is interested in aircraft carriers, I can’t even give it to him as it is much too young.
