Unconventional Vehicles explores very strange modes of transportation for vehicle fans, rocket inventors, budding space-and-aeronautics experts, and anyone who's ever thought, "Why can't I ride a motorized suitcase through the airport?" Brimming with fascinating facts and diagrams presented with wit and humor, this book is sure to enthrall vehicle enthusiasts of every age. - Ideal for children ages 8 to 12 years old, especially those interested in vehicles and engineering- Author Michael Hearst brings his signature verve and humor to this fascinating read.- Young readers will devour all the substantive and silly content in this book, proving definitively that nonfiction is anything but dry.- Resonates year-round as a go-to gift for birthdays, holidays, and more- A great pick for teachers, parents, grandparents, and caregivers- Add it to the shelf with books like Cars, Trains, Ships, and Planes: A Visual Encyclopedia of Every Vehicle by DK; Stephen Biesty's Incredible Cross-Sections by Stephen Biesty; and Cool Cars by Quentin Willson,
