[Jeremy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great examples of real-life machines with a student activity that connects to each type of machine. Many examples of text structure: captions, sidebars, headings, and subheadings. Vocabulary support throughout. Good informational text for students to browse cover-to-cover or flip directly to a desired machine.
