How do you make work easier With machines, of course! Acclaimed author Lola M. Schaefer and award-winning illustrator James Yang explore various types of machines and their numerous, complex functions. A fun and interactive STEM-themed picture book for fans of David Macaulay and Byron Barton, and anyone curious about how things work and what makes things go. Machines are everywhere. They are the spoons that scoop and the trucks that dump. They are pulleys and ramps and even a giant rocket ship flying through outer space. How many simple and compound machines can you findLift, Mix, Fling! introduces readers to the six different simple machines: the screw, the lever, the wedge, the pulley, the inclined plane, and the wheel and axle. Lola M. Schaefer' s lively, rhyming text and James Yang' s bold and inventive illustrations make this STEM topic easy to understand and fun to explore. Lift, Mix, Fling! illustrates how machines function and why they are important-a necessary building block in science. A fun and educational choice for curious children, for classrooms, and for family story times. Includes backmatter about simple and compound machines.
"Clever . . . As Schaefer' s economic, rhyming text explains the difference between simple machines (which have "one or two parts") and their compound counterparts, vignettes by Yang . . . celebrate the awesome power of the machines themselves. " -- Publishers Weekly(starred review)
