Tap into kids' natural curiosity about the high-interest topic of military vehicles with questions and answers about how destroyers work. An inquiry-based format guides early elementary readers with accessible language about the destroyer's top speeds, what it's like on board, and how such a big ship uses stealth to sneak up on enemies. Colorful and engaging infographics draw in browsers and visual learners. A "Stay Curious!" feature encourages kids to keep asking questions while doubling as a mini media literacy lesson on research skills. Includes table of contents, glossary, and index.
