Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Budding young inventors, engineers, and sciences will love this one-of-a-kind STEM book for curious young minds!
"The creative approach to showcasing technology and nature, however, will get kids thinking and asking questions about the world around them. Pair this title with David Macaulay's The Way Things Work Now and Stephen Biesty's "Incredible Cross-Sections" series for an in-depth dive into how our world works. VERDICT A good introduction to STEM topics that will increase critical thinking skills and vocabulary."--School Library Journal
