Inside the US Army

Inside the US Army is an attractively organized book that is full of information. It begins with a description of the army, its training and equipment and ends with the future of the army (robots, computers, etc.). There is a labeled diagram of an infantry soldier and gear as well as a bulleted page of army history.

Typical nonfiction features (table of contents, text boxes, index and glossary) are clearly organized. Further reading resources include both books and internet materials.

Soldiers pictured are varied ethnicity and sex, which is encouraging for young readers. This book is part of the US Armed Forces series and a solid addition for the younger readers in your library.

About Candy Ranney

Candy is an elementary school librarian in Shelton, WA at the school where she was a student (so many years ago!). Her library is unique in that she brings her background and love of biology to her students in many ways. Not only does she have an awesome selection of science books; she also has a beaver, bobcat and mink sitting on her shelves and a variety of jarred specimens for her students to study. When she's not in the library, she is taking care of her baby trees on her tree farm and hanging out with her family and many pets.
