Knowledge Encyclopedia: Transportation! uses incredibly detailed 3D illustrations to show children aged 9+ everything they need to know about how vehicles work. Children will find themselves totally absorbed in complex subjects with the Knowledge Encyclopedia series, made clear through engaging explanations, intricate illustrations, vivid photographs, and striking 3D images.

Meet hundreds of vehicles that float, fly, or speed across the land, including the record breakers - the fastest, largest, longest, and strangest modes of transportation ever to zoom, sail, or soar. This all-encompassing encyclopedia for kids offers:

  • A whole collection of facts, charts, timelines, and illustrations that cover a vast range of transportation.
  • Complex subjects that are explained using amazingly detailed CGIs that entice young readers to dive in and explore.
  • A visual approach using illustrations, photographs and extremely detailed 3D CGI images.

Children can explore transportation as they've never seen it before, looking at groundbreaking topics like current and future craft that use green energy to transport people and goods around the world. Peer inside a car engine, feel the roar of a jet, watch a helicopter's rotor create lift, and explore below the decks of an ocean liner in this impressively detailed transportation encyclopedia.
