Gorgeous, informative and accessible book showing cross sections of every day items with explanations of how they work. Delight for adults and children to read. The 200 version is slightly dated, but typewriters and sewing machines are not mechanically impossible to find just yet! (2019) ( )

I would use this book as a mentor text for grades 3rd-5th. This book works great as a mentor text because it is constantly answering questions and students can look at to make connections when learning about forces and interactions. This book could also be used to teach cause and effect because it shows the result you will get depending on the way actions you take.

This delightfully illustrated book makes the potentially confusing conversation about machinery exciting and fun. ( )
