Rube Goldberg's Simple Normal Humdrum School Day: A Picture Book - Hardcover
Book 1 of 2: Rube Goldberg?s Simple Normal
Synopsis
Packed with 14 original Rube Goldberg inventions and interactive gatefold spreads, this STEM-inspired picture book follows young Rube through a hilariously overengineered school day filled with imaginative machines, chain reactions, and creative problem-solving.
From the moment he wakes up until bedtime, young Rube Goldberg turns ordinary routines into extraordinary adventures, using a series of fantastically complex contraptions to accomplish the simplest of everyday tasks.
Inspired by the legendary cartoonist, inventor, and namesake of the famous Rube Goldberg machine, this book includes spectacular gatefold spreads that unfold to reveal each invention in full, inviting readers to follow every pulley, lever, switch, and chain reaction from start to finish.
Created by Rube Goldberg's granddaughter Jennifer George and illustrated by Reuben Award–winning artist Ed Steckley, this playful introduction to one of America's most imaginative minds celebrates creativity, curiosity, and out-of-the-box thinking. Along the way, readers can trace each funny cause-and-effect chain as Rube navigates breakfast, school, homework, and more.
Packed with visual humor and interactive details, this engaging picture book invites children to look closely, think like engineers, and imagine their own inventive solutions to everyday challenges. Perfect for STEM and STEAM classrooms, aspiring inventors, classroom read-alouds, and anyone who loves a clever machine.
