Simple Machines: Wheels, Levers, and Pulleys

This is a great book to support understanding of simple machines!

As I read it to my 4-year-old, I made the story a tad more fun with my own interjections. I bought the book as part of a gift for another kid and I was kind of disappointed at first, since it's a little bit of a dry read. But then, my son and his friend would start to point out when they recognized a "simple machine" in our daily lives and I realized he had absorbed it entirely. It's a great introduction to concepts and initiates problem-solving skills in kids - for example my son made a Leggo lever to help his tiny people lift blocks. It was very cool.

Decent book, a little bit young for my son. We got around to this kind of science later than most kids because we covered other topics instead. The content was accurate. It was worth the money. I have recommended it to a couple other homeschool families with children younger than mine.

Good purchase
