The randomness of the subjects, from dogs to toilets, socks to bananas, is both appealing and frustrating. Lighthearted but accurate information includes a simple definition, labeled parts, and other related, sometimes whimsical, facts (a cat is defined, but a kaleidoscope isn't). Collage illustrations on a grid background give a technical air to the information in this companion to How Things Work in the Yard.
