Customer Reviews

GREAT FOR A YOUNG INVENTOR TYPE!

Our 8 year old son is fascinated with how moving parts on machines work. This book has been such a treasure to our family! He has read this book too many times to count, and now has our 6 year old and 3 year old intrigued by it as well. The age range says 4-8, but I think it would easily interest an older child as well. (It is interesting for this Mom to read!) It explains, through the use of "mechanically correct drawings", how things we have in our home, and use in our daily lives, work. I would recommend this for any youth who is curious about the world around them.
