Very detailed, will engage your kid for hours 
2005-12-27
Although the book is a slim 64 pages, it is chocked full of information, interesting details and pictures. There are 3-5 photos on each page each with a short explanatory paragraph. They detail every aspect of submarines, including historical development, technology, the people involved, war tactics, and life on the boat. Your son (boys are the primary audience for this book) can skip around in this book and just stop and read whatever bits interest him at the time. For example, on a recent plane trip, my son got interested in the section about food prepared in submarines, examining the pictures to see what the crew were eating. He pointed out one photo where the cook (on a Russian sub) was spooning out fish eggs on an appetizer. This is a good book for traveling as it can be picked up and put down without disturbing a narrative and requires no ramping up of concentration since the many pictures automatically attract the reader's attention. It's good for a few hours of distraction and fairly light weight for a large-format hardcover.
The text in this book seems geared for 5th grade and above but you can get it for a 3rd grader, or even younger, since the pictures alone will be sufficiently engaging. Your son will then grow into the textual part of the book. Adults who are interested in the subject also will find the book fascinating and full of previously unknown details and historical information. At the current Amazon price of $10.87, this book is a very good deal.
