Great for Kids
This book is great for kids. It gives fun, educational examples of all of the things engieneers can do, yet still makes it easy to understand. It teaches kids that there are so many more things they can be when they grow up other than a doctor or lawyer. The illustrations are vibrant and detailed. But the videos really make the book. It’s so nice to have a more in depth component to go along with the story.
Videos are a great touch!
Wonderful book to help children learn what engineers do. The videos make it a book for all ages. My 12 year old son and I LOVED the bridge implosion video - if you look close, you will see the 2nd bridge. We were amazed that engineers could implode one bridge and not damage the bridge next to it.
Worth Reading & Re-reading
This was the first children's iBook we've ever downloaded and we are so happy we did. Our whole family loved the book! It was informative and engaging. We looked forward to each page. The visuals seemed to add just the right amount of stimulation to help keep the kids connected to the content. It's worth a few re-reads too!
