What is a tank? -- Parts of a tank -- Inside a tank -- Caterpillar tracks! -- The turret -- What's in a name? -- Tip-top tanks -- Driving test -- Cannonball!

When tanks were first used, they changed how wars were fought. Today, tanks are getting more and more high-tech. But the main parts-turrets, caterpillar tracks, periscope-are as visible on today's tanks as on those of the past. Readers learn all about these parts as well as how one drives a tank in this book. A friendly character guides readers through the age-appropriate content, including STEM content like how caterpillar tracks work. A colorful design engages readers throughout
