Product Description

From the team behind Science Channel's long-running show How It's Made comes a guide for curious kids!

For 24 seasons, How It's Made has educated viewers on the process of making everything from bread to bifocals with language everyone can understand.

This book teaches young readers how the items they use every day come to be, with simple descriptions and full-color illustrations and photographs. Each chapter focuses on one specific item, such as airplanes, gummy vitamins, or basketballs, and breaks down what happens at the factory.

From School Library Journal

Gr 1-5- A book for any classroom with children where curiosity is strong. Fleece comes from plastic bottles? It takes over 42,000 pictures to make a half-hour cartoon? Gerencer breaks up the creation of objects from sports equipment to technological necessities into concise details. Materials have from two to four pages of description, with boxes explaining the process. Photos show each procedure, with illustrated arrows and figures enhancing the knowledge. Colorful side boxes add fun facts and essential vocabulary, including recipes for Asian noodles or how to make a potato battery. The book details art, food, and musical instruments.

Review

"The lively design is inviting, and the choice of subjects includes something for everyone...An intriguing, behind-the-scenes look at the creation of common objects." - Kirkus Reviews
