The Invention Hunters: Discover How Machines Work

(2) K-3 In these action- and information-packed picture books, self-proclaimed "Invention Hunters," a group of cheeky, clueless scientists, barge into a child's home to gather objects for their "Museum of Inventionology." The adults hypothesize ludicrous uses for each item, prompting the child to share nonfiction vocabulary, diagrams, historical information, and additional facts. The comics format keeps the tales moving quickly; the narratives shift back and forth between informational spreads and the scientists' wacky antics. Review covers these titles: The Invention Hunters: Discover How Electricity Works and The Invention Hunters: Discover How Machines Work.
