The books are simple enough for young readers and will make good springboards to other, more in-depth books on the subjects.

Transportation and Communication Series series. The books in this series provide adequate information on the history, development, and use of a specific aspect of communication or transportation. Unfortunately, the text is choppy and not always well edited. Photo illustrations frequently detract from rather than extend the text, and many of the captions are misleading, mislabeled, or insufficient. Bib., glos., The Horn Book Guide July-December 2001
