Inside the US Army by Jennifer Boothroyd –ADVISABLE

Boothroyd, Jennifer Inside the US Army, 32pgs. Lerner, 2017.  $20.

This book features small chapters giving a clear explanation of what the army is, how they train, their equipment, and the future of the army. It also contains some interesting historical facts and a gear diagram. It features large photographs, and a variety of bright back grounds and layouts to hold interest.

This is a perfectly set up a book for a K-2 to read on their own and understand. Its simple and interesting. Older readers would prefer more of a DK version. I would buy this set for the library both as a resources for teachers and students, who are often interested in this topic (especially the tanks!). The photographs are well chosen and the book has a very modern and inviting feel.
