Marvelous Machines delves into the mysteries of machines, revealing the different parts that make up a machine, and the forces that make a machine run. Readers get to see how different kinds of power sources flow through a house and what happens inside kitchen appliances. Readers also get a peek at the inner workings of machines like telephones, printing presses, maglev trains, container ships and submarines. The best part? They get to use a magic lens to do it! For young builders and those of us with infinitely curious minds, this is one of those eye-opening kinds of books we wish we had as kids.
Marvelous Machines was written by Jane Wilsher, illustrated by Andrés Lozano with Dr. Joseph Corcoran as consultant. Published by What on Earth Books.
