This book easily and clearly illustrates the concept of pulley, screw and lever. Simple machines have never been so easy to explain. The cute animals and the banana party they have help the students in my 3rd grade class to understand force and work. Bravo!

My 4 and 5 year olds have enjoyed reading this several times already! It's a good way to introduce simple machines to this age group, and has colorful pictures too! It's fun to think of lifting lions, or moving pandas on a wagon, or getting a bunch of bananas to a baboon party!

I bought this book for my 5 year old with an strong curiosity of levers and pulley systems. We read it often to explain something that he discovered during the day while playing and creating. The illustrations are colorful and attract a young child's eye while easily showing the concepts. I recommend this book for children that enjoy science!

THis book is perfect for my 6 year old grand son. The concepts are accurate and simply explained which has him convinced science is fun and attainable.
