Engaging Engines,
By A Customer
This review is from: Eureka! It'S An Automobile (Pb (Paperback)
Jeanne Bendick has written a thought-provoking book for children that explores inventions that made the invention of the automobile possible. History of the automobile and science/mechanics are neatly combined; humorous cartoons of a tortoise and a hare add a light touch sure to appeal to youngsters. The cut-aways, illustrations, and clear textual explanations help the reader understand the parts of a car and how they work. The reader has the feeling that he/she could identify a problem and invent a solution to it.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Eureka! It'S An Automobile (Pb (Paperback)
This picture book has an older reading level -- middle graders will learn quite a lot from this book, even if they are "too big" for picture books. The text does not correlate perfectly with the illustrations (many of the illustrated automobiles are never mentioned in the text, and there are few captions). Still, the technical illustrations clearly convey the information about engines and drive shafts and power. My fourth grader (WAY "too big" for picture books) enjoys this very much.
