Powerful Armored Vehicles - Children's Literature

A tank is a tank is a tank, right? Wrong, as this book on armored vehicles quickly points out. Traditional tanks are just some of the fighting machines profiled in this offering from the “Vehicles on the Move” series. Young readers will learn the difference between armored vehicles and battle tanks, find detailed pictures of the parts of an armored tank, and the important role different kinds of armor have for the soldiers manning them.
