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

There's going to be a sailboat race on Blue Lake and the club is going to watch! But first Jacob and Nisha are going to explain the boat building process to their friends, step by step. Share the excitement as the Junior Engineers Club gets a firsthand look at how a sailboat 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.

      Grades 2-5 In the How It's Built series (6 titles), six young friends who love building and learning about how things work make up the Junior Engineers Club. Curiosity arises when the friends attend a sailboat race and set out to learn how sailboats are made. Club members make an appearance on every page as they help readers learn, and they are joined by experts such as a naval architect and an engineer, who offer further explanations. Readers learn the parts of a boat, kinds of sailboats, and how they are made--from the creation of the mold to the making of the mast and sails. Materials and tools used are described; a section covers history's first sailboats. Color photographs provide excellent close-up views of each step and tool, while information is easy to follow and clearly explained.

      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.
