  • Great set up for short attention spans
I really like the visual break down of the different machines, to show both the inside and outside so the child doesn't get lost in the "where is that...?" thought. It also gives just enough to grab the attention of the reader and give small amounts of information without overwhelming them.

  • Kids are interested in everything; indulge them
This book is written for a slightly older child (7? 8?) than my kids, but they love to have me read it anyway. If you want them to continue engaging in their vast world, this is a great book to encourage it.
