Another
in the “Did You Know?” series of books, this new
release focuses on things related to transportation. Besides
ships, airplanes and cars there is information here on bridges
and highways.
For
example, did you know that some trains use magnets to travel
up to 360 miles per hour? Have you ever heard of the Chengyang
Bridge in China? It features five pagodas with porches and
pavilions.
You’ll
also discover that the longest undersea tunnel is in Japan
and that a man in Sweden was fined nearly one million dollars
for speeding at 180 miles per hour!
Fun facts like these make this book an enjoyable read and
one that youngsters will wish to share with their friends.
