Gr 1-2-Though some of the full-page photos of military vehicles in the field are dark, making the pictured machines hard to decipher, the color photos, high-interest topics, and large-type texts bedewed with military-style acronyms-particularly in Trucks-may draw reluctant older readers as well as younger browsers.
