From School Library Journal:
Gr 1-3-Each title introduces one of the six types of simple machines, explaining how it works, identifying its parts, and listing examples. The authors have included real-life scenarios that students might encounter when describing how machines make our lives easier. Each spread features colorful illustrations or stock photographs featuring multicultural characters. The simple language is accessible to beginners, and the glossaries contain good explanations of new terms, making them suitable for curricular use. However, there are some spots where an additional photo would have been helpful. For example, in Wheels, there is no picture of a windmill and in the section on doorknobs the photo doesn't show that a doorknob has an axle. The content is similar to Creative Education's "Simple Machines" series (2011) and Capstone Press's "Simple Machines to the Rescue" set (2007).α(c) Copyright 2011.
