Engaging Engines

Jeanne Bendick has written a thought-provoking book for children that explores inventions that made the invention of the automobile possible. History of the automobile and science/mechanics are neatly combined; humorous cartoons of a tortoise and a hare add a light touch sure to appeal to youngsters. The cut-aways, illustrations, and clear textual explanations help the reader understand the parts of a car and how they work. The reader has the feeling that he/she could identify a problem and invent a solution to it.
