About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts poking, pulling, and investigating how every household object works. It is the perfect tool for turning a toddler's destructive curiosity into constructive discovery. Through interactive lift-the-flap elements, Sally Rippin introduces the basic mechanics of wheels, springs, and gears using friendly monsters as guides. The book celebrates the 'how' and 'why' of the physical world, fostering a sense of wonder and intellectual pride. It is developmentally ideal for preschoolers who are transitioning from simple picture books to concept-based learning. By making physics tangible and playful, it empowers children to see themselves as little engineers who can understand and master their environment.
