A 2015 Parents'' Choice Gold Award Winner "Every so often, something happens that opens a child''s perceptual portals to the wonderful world of science ... This compact, astute book could be that ''something'' for early-elementary students who don''t yet know how to embrace science in real-world terms. And for those who do, it will only fuel their fascination. ... For junior engineers, this is a great book; for any curious child, it could be an ''aha'' moment."-- Parents'' Choice "Simple machines are all around, and this encourages young readers to spot them and, even more, to systematically record and explore the complexities of how they work. ... An excellent introduction to basic physics and machines as well as to the scientific method and what it means to think in a systematic and empirical way."-- Booklist "Finding ways to pique interest, explore ideas, and create demonstrable lessons in science can be daunting for any caregiver or teacher. This book makes it easy. Full of fascinating activities and interesting facts, each section offers a fun opportunity to learn something new.

    The book arrived promptly and in good shape, as described, and packaged in a sturdy little cardboard box, not a flimsy mailing bag. (When I receive a book packaged only in a plastic bag, that's an instant negative, as far as I'm concerned.) So, to sum up: I'm pleased.
