Whoosh! An F-18 Hornet takes off from an aircraft carrier. How big is this floating airbase and how many aircraft can it carry? Tap into kids' natural curiosity about the high-interest topic of military technology with questions and answers about how aircraft carriers work. An inquiry-based format guides early elementary readers with accessible language about the size of aircraft carriers, how long it takes to build one, and how fast aircraft take off from the flight deck. Colorful and engaging infographics draw in browsers and visual learners. A "Stay Curious!" feature encourages kids to keep asking questions while doubling as a mini media literacy lesson on research skills. Includes table of contents, glossary, and index.
