Summary: Woolly Mammoths as Instructors
Review: This book is one of my fondest childhood memories- not only are there interesting descriptions of the way various machines work, but there are insights into space, magicians acts and the great pyramids. All "widgets" are represented by woolly mammoths, creating a fun "count the woolly mammoths" game for kids to play while learning about a certain topic. Never dry, even the cover inspires imagination with is whimsical use of simple machines to spell out the title. A great book to have and to keep.
