Synopsis

With a spinning machine that's a wizard at answering the most popular science questions--and making them fun, too--learning about everything from gravity to gases turns into a can't-wait-to-play game. Kids, already inquisitive about how things around us work, will absolutely delight at having a range of science facts right at their fingertips. They'll happily put the pointer on questions like these: Why can many animals hear higher-pitched sounds than we do? What causes static? When we fall down and cut ourselves, why do we get a scar? How does a refrigerator work--or a hurricane form? As they take a magical mystery tour through science--from the planets high in the sky to dinosaur fossils deep in the earth--kids will turn into budding science buffs eager to get the lowdown on energy and heat, light and sound, magnetism and electricity, computers and communication, earth science, living things and their history, life zones, and our own selves.

About this title

Reviews

Two titles by Jay Young point the way to higher learning. On each spread of The Magic Fact Machine: Science and The Magic Fact Machine: Animals, readers press a pointing robot finger into a hole on the left, then turn it so that it points at a question (e.g., "What is unusual about the metal mercury?"). When they place it in the hole on the next page, the finger magically spins toward the correct answer ("It is liquid at room temperature"). Full-color photographs and brief blocks of text explain the overriding issues.
