Kids are fascinated by how things are constructed, especially big things!

The club has been invited to watch the launch of a new rocket! But first Lucas and Sofia are going to explain the building process of this incredible machine to their friends, step by step. Share the excitement as the Junior Engineers Club gets a firsthand look at how a rocket is built.

ABOUT THE SERIES:

This brand-new STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) series will take readers on visits to various work sites so they can see exactly How It's Built! Kids will follow along as a small group of fictional characters get to find out exactly what it takes to build things that they probably see all the time, like bridges, houses, boats, and cars, to things that they might dream of being inside, like skyscrapers and rockets.

      PreS-Gr 1-Readers who've enjoyed Andrea Beaty's "Questioneers" series (Abrams) will enjoy this cute, informational picture book series. An adorable cartoon "Junior Engineers Club" travels around, meeting engineers and architects as they bring buildings, structures, and vehicles from concept to completion. The characters learn all about how things like new bridges are made, watching crews construct them over water and then demolishing the old bridge once the new one is complete. Learning about the big engineering feats is impressive, but it's somehow even cooler to learn about the construction of everyday things, like houses and cars. Each book ends with images of tools needed for construction, followed by descriptions of famous representations of the different structures. While this series is very sweet, it's best categorized as informational fiction and will find a happy home in most picture book collections. VERDICT A nice addition, but not necessarily for nonfiction collections.
