Large photographs and statistics about size and speed dominate each spread, which… highlights one kind of vehicle or coaster. The images best capture the drama when shown in context or alongside people for scale. Vehicle lovers will enjoy learning specific names such as the Caterpillar 797B dump truck and the Airbus Beluga.

Colorful, close-up photos of the featured machine or structure will draw readers to this attractive series. Titles include nine chapter spreads, each of which has a full-page photo that slightly spills over onto the opposite page, where one or two paragraphs are printed over a fluffy white cloud with a blue sky background. A smaller photo usually appears near the text. Each chapter covers one machine, describing how it is used and providing statistics such as length, height, width, weight, wingspan (Airplanes), and speed (Roller Coaster). Informative captions appear in boxes designed to look like metal plates attached with screws.
