How to Build a Car

64 pp. | Walter Foster | November, 2015 | Library ISBN 978-1-63322-040-9 $14.95
(4) K-3 Technical Tales series. Illustrated by Martin Sodomka. A trio of animal friends works together on mechanical projects--through trial, error, and teamwork. Mouse Eli thinks big, bird Phoebe has a mind for machines, and frog Hank is cautious and well connected. The books attempt to teach readers some of the science behind the vehicles, but the facts aren't adequately explained. Detailed illustrations and diagrams are more engaging than the forced stories. Review covers these Technical Tales titles: How to Build a Car, How to Build a Motorcycle, and How to Build a Plane.
