Review: Curious minds will love this book! - I bought this book for my 14-year-old son for his birthday. He has a curious mind and always likes to know how things work. When I saw the title of this book, I thought this is perfect. He has enjoyed reading the book and learning about all the ways that various things work. The information is presented in sections, which makes it easy to read and not overwhelming. The illustrations are helpful and add to the enjoyment of the book. Not only is this a great book for a teenager, I think this is a good book for anybody. I’ve now read the book and learned so much from it. It’s nice because you can read about one or two different things and then put it away and then pick it up again easily. I like this book and I recommend it for anybody who has a curious mind.
Review: As good as it ever was. Buy this book! - Man, I loved this book back when I was a kid. It was fun to learn, mechanical, scientific, physics, and engineering concepts from a bunch of silly mammoths in an accessible, yet not simplistic manner. The book is updated to be suitable for the 21st century and only is missing the most recent AI leap (the mammoths are still probably trying to get their trunks wrapped around generate AI and LLMs so maybe a future update). Great to whet the appetite of any child who has an interest in things mechanical even if they are not a super-student. Plus I still enjoy flipping through it in my late 30s.
