      K-Gr 2-Simple but not simplistic, this series is ideal for new readers. The verso of each spread consists of a few concise sentences. The writing is informative and hones in on military superlatives. Young readers will eat up facts such as "Many soldiers use the M4 rifle. This gun shoots 700 to 950 bullets per minute. That is 11 to 16 shots per second" and "Marine recruits train for 12 weeks. Their final test is the Crucible. It lasts 54 hours. Recruits march 48 miles (77 kilometers) as part of the test." The photograph on each recto fills the page and is in full color. The scenes captured are vivid and telling. For instance, a photo in U.S. Navy shows a sailor in his bunk and depicts clearly the extremely cramped living quarters referenced in the accompanying page of text.
