Each Ultimate Sticker Book presents an array of colorful,
photographic stickers of baby animals or dinosaurs, the U.S.
Presidents or the night sky - there's something for everyone. Young
children will love working with these durable, reusable stickers,
and they can have fun using the stickers to make picture books and
projects on their own. These entertaining books provide a hands-on
way to explore new subjects. (And some of the stickers even glow in
the dark ) Includes over 60 full-color, self-adhesive stickers.
With 17 easy-to-do experiments and 300 exciting pictures, this is
the story of transportation on water: the vessels, the people and
the technology. It features amazing information about every type of
vehicle - from canoes, fishing trawlers and ferries, to warships,
submarines and hovercraft. It explains how ships work, with the
help of exciting step-by-step experiments to do at home or school.
You can build a model reed boat, test which hull shapes move the
fastest through water, power a propeller with a rubber-band engine,
and make a navigation light. It captures the thrills and spectacle
of life and work at sea, in more than 300 dramatic photographs and
detailed illustrations. By inventing ways to travel on water,
people have been able to see and trade with new lands, conquer new
territories, fight great sea battles and enjoy new sports. This
book will help you to understand why ships have played such an
important part in human history.With the aid of cross-section
illustrations and simple experiments to do at home, you will
discover how vessels stay afloat, how a sail works, what keeps a
submarine underwater, how a hovercraft skims on air, the elements
of navigation, and much more.
Who doesn't love a great mystery? This book presents the eerie accidents and unexplained disappearances that have occurred in the region known as the Bermuda Triangle.
Even before it was named, the Bermuda Triangle--roughly bounded by Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico--had gained a mythic reputation. The Bermuda Triangle became famous for making boats and ships vanish, and for snatching planes right out of the sky. But are these stories true? And if they are true, is there a more sensible reason that refutes the bad karma of the region? With so many mystifying events to learn about, readers will love disappearing into this story.

In this series, you get behind the wheel of vehicles that rule!
Discover just what machines can do, and take a look at what makes
them work. Machines Rule: Space takes a close look at all the
exciting machines that make space travel possible, from satellites
to space suits.
Zoom! Who needs four wheels when two wheels can be so much fun!
While street motorcycles zoom around cities, dirt bikes fly over
jumps and twist around mud tracks. Young readers will find out
about the types of motorcycles, their main parts and why these
vehicles are so popular.
It's a fight to the finish line! Which racing car will get there
first? Some racing cars look a lot like regular cars. Others have
thin bodies and open wheels. Some race on mud tracks, while others
race on smooth paved tracks. But they all have one thing in
common... speed! Young readers will find out about the types of
racing cars, their main parts and why fans crowd racing tracks
around the world to see them go!
