It makes clear the pushes and pulls that underlie the mechanics and materials of bridge design at a level suited for grade school kids. Make a suspension bridge?

Excellent Primer on Bridges for kids!,
By Cristine (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bridges (Paperback)
My son loves this book! It is packed with a lot of information on bridges and has nicely drawn pictures on every page. There are easy projects to do, one of which my son used for his science project at school.I highly recommend this book for the child - and their parents -who want to learn more about bridges!
