The focus, upfront, is on East versus West: the text highlights the difference between dragons in European mythologies and Asian mythologies, while calling out various famous dragons throughout legend and literature and touching on basic stats. Some source notes wouldn’t have gone amiss here, especially since there’s some contradiction between mythologies, and the book could have benefited from better organization—the design does little to help structure the content, and the decision to integrate pop culture references into the discussion of cultural lore, instead of using sidebars, can be perplexing.

Each volume in the series focuses on a different type of racing car, with an emphasis on how the vehicles are utilized in their special niche in this sport. In each book, readers are treated to a look at the mechanical capacities of the cars in question, the types of tracks or terrain they are raced on, and the driving requirements they call for. Mention is also made of the specialized parts and equipment that are built into these high-powered vehicles. Each book also features dramatic color photography which captures the speed and power of race cars. In this addition to the series, readers will learn about one of the more unique types of race cars. Dragsters are vehicles designed to race for very brief amounts of time and, in that short track race, achieve the highest speeds of any automobiles on the planet. Dragsters take a number of forms, but all of them are designed to take off fast, punch through to top speeds of over 300 mph, and decelerate with the assistance of parachutes. A drag race will last a matter of seconds rather than minutes and features vehicles that are more akin to rocket-ships than cars. Drivers must be expert in order to handle the enormous power of dragsters. Drag racing can be a dangerous sport due to the combination of highly explosive fuel with fiery engines. It is dragsters and the drivers who struggle to control them that is well told in this illustrated book. Youngsters with an interest in cars will certainly enjoy reading this introductory look at these explosively powerful vehicles.\" \u003cem\u003e-Children's Literature\u003c\/em\u003e, January 2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Creative Company","offers":[{"title":"Reinforced Library HC","offer_id":39669769044049,"sku":"9781640262867","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39707098415185,"sku":"9781628328189","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3432\/0977\/products\/9781640262867.jpg?v=1639579548"},{"product_id":"formula-one-cars-9781640262874","title":"Formula One Cars","description":"\u003cp\u003e\nA fast-paced, high-interest introduction to Formula One cars, aerodynamic race cars known for their wings and use in closed circuit races.

Sports car racers can achieve enormous speeds as they negotiate scientifically designed racecourses. Equipped with engines that can generate over 700 horse power, top flight sports cars can reach speeds exceeding 200 mph. These powerful vehicles require expert handling and, despite the skills of top drivers, are still very dangerous. In international competitions, sports car drivers are very popular in many nations.

Stock cars travel at high speeds and are fitted with re-worked parts designed to streamline and accelerate performance. Stock car races are carried out on race courses that can be as long as two miles. Accidents are not uncommon in stock car racing and, despite advancements in safety equipment, these events can be quite dangerous.

In this selection from the illustrated “Amazing Winter Olympics” series, readers will learn a bit about ice hockey. Olympic ice hockey has been a sport included in the games since 1920, when it debuted as a Summer Olympics event. Four years later, when the Winter Olympics were initiated, ice hockey found its natural venue in those games. At first, only men could compete in Olympic ice hockey. That changed in 1998, when women’s ice hockey was added as a medal event. Traditionally, nations such as Canada, the Soviet Union or Russia, the United States, Finland, Sweden, and the Czech Republic have been the most successful hockey teams in the Olympic Games. Hockey features speed, toughness, skating skills, and a gritty approach to competition. Every four years, this team sport is one of the more popular competitions in the Winter Olympics. It is this wonderful sport that readers will learn about in this beautifully illustrated book.  While the narrative provides introductory information, the numerous color photographs will capture readers’ attention. The camera work is the book’s strong suit and helps to make it a nice addition to libraries serving sports enthusiasts.\" \u003cem\u003eChildren's Literature\u003c\/em\u003e, January 2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Creative Company","offers":[{"title":"Reinforced Library HC","offer_id":39669773041745,"sku":"9781640264960","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39669773074513,"sku":"9781682770481","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3432\/0977\/products\/9781640264960.jpg?v=1639579651"},{"product_id":"luge-9781640264977","title":"Luge","description":"\u003cp\u003eCelebrate the Winter Games with this high-interest introduction to luge, the sport known for its sleds and icy courses.

Through diligence, talents, and a commitment to excellence, Olympic athletes accomplish marvelous feats of skill in a tournament that garners attention from people around the world. In this selection from the illustrated “Amazing Winter Olympics” series, readers will learn a bit about the luge. Luge has been a Winter Olympics event since 1984.  Traditionally, Germany has dominated this sport, although other nations have certainly contributed to the growing enthusiasm for this high-speed event. In luge, as readers of this informative book will discover, men and women slide down a one-mile course on specially designed sleds that can reach speeds of more than 90 MPH. Luge drivers slide downhill on tracks that lose at least 400 feet of elevation and do so feet first. There are no brakes on a luge sled and the sport can be very dangerous. Luge events are single or team competitions and feature either solo or tandem riders. Both men and women compete at the Winter Olympics. The basic elements of luge as a sport are well handled in this concise book, but it is the color photography included in the text that steals the show. Shots of luge drivers streaming down the course, the specialized gear they wear, and the pure dynamism of the sport virtually leap off the page in the illustrations. Readers, young and old, with an interest in Olympic sports will enjoy this book and find the photography to be truly amazing.\" \u003cem\u003eChildren's Literature\u003c\/em\u003e, January 2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Creative Company","offers":[{"title":"Reinforced Library HC","offer_id":39669773140049,"sku":"9781640264977","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39669773172817,"sku":"9781682770498","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3432\/0977\/products\/9781640264977.jpg?v=1639579660"},{"product_id":"snowboarding-9781640264984","title":"Snowboarding","description":"\u003cp\u003e\nCelebrate the Winter Games with this high-interest introduction to snowboarding, the sport known for its halfpipe and slopestyle events.

They are usually involved in short missions that may include close combat in enemy territory. Rangers are trained on small-unit tactics, mobility, marksmanship, medical training, and physical training. Readers will learn terms, ranks, definitions, and basic facts about Rangers. Subject matter includes the Top Five Extreme Ranger Achievements, info about the first women to graduate Ranger school in 2015, Rangers' involvement at the Normandy invasion of WWII, a reliable canine Ranger that was killed by enemy fire in 2018, Merrill’s Marauders earning bronze stars in WWII, and Rangers destroying enemy weapons at Pointe du Hoc, also in WWII. While the text and images are highly informative and engaging, photos include a downed operative, explosives, strong emotion, and smoking. Prior to obtaining this resource, a review of school policy on educational resources containing weapon information is advised. The duties and roles of Army Rangers are undoubtedly honorable and highly respected, but an adult should review content to determine if this title is appropriate for their students, especially in a school setting.
