drivers can race them anywhere. Full color.
Discover the world of engineering with fun, step-by-step projects
Think of all the different ways we get around - by car, bus, train,
plane ... even by spaceship! Transport and aerospace engineers are
the people who design and build the vehicles and infrastructure
that keep us on the move. Kid-Engineer is the perfect introduction
to the topic for budding young engineers. Each book focuses on one
of the key engineering disciplines, breaking it down to make it
interesting and accessible for young readers. Simple step-by-step
activities bring the learning to life and encourage readers to
develop their own engineering and design skills. Great reading for
aspiring engineers aged 8 and above. Other titles in the series
include: Energy Computers & Robotics Buildings & Structures
Transport & Aerospace Materials
Hop on and sing along to the tune of "The Wheels on the Bus!" Roar,

hydrogen fuel cells, catamarans and pantographs? Well, where have
you been! Whether it flies, floats, races or sails, Infomojis: Cars
and Vehicles is all about exploring the world of transport in a fun
and engaging way. Each book features custom-made 'infomojis' -

Illustrated in full color. This car-and- truck-filled alphabet extravaganza that starts with an ambulance and ends with a zippercar, is shaped like Lowly Worm's applemobile.
Thomas the Tank Engine and his friend Percy are startled--and
scared--to see a dinosaur in the forest Train-l and
dinosaur-obsessed boys ages 3 to 7 will get a double thrill from
this Thomas & Friends Little Golden Book.
This title comes with 18 easy-to-do experiments and 240 exciting
pictures. You can uncover the flight techniques of insects, birds
and other flying creatures. You can explore the science that humans
have developed to enable them to fly. You can find out how a jumbo
jet carrying 500 passengers can stay in the air, and how a
hummingbird can hover over a flower with pinpoint precision.
Exciting experiments and inside-view diagrams explain the mechanics
of drag, lift and thrust. Dramatic photographs and expert text
capture the power and mystery of flight. It is an ideal reference
source, for use at home or at school. You can follow the history of
flying, from the first (disastrous) human attempts to soar like
birds, to the creation of a supersonic airliner that flies faster
than a bullet. You can explore the techniques of nature's most
skilled flyers - from the prehistoric pterosaur to the
long-distance albatross. You can share the excitement of the first
human flight by Orville and Wilbur Wright, and the challenge of
flying a round-the-world hot-air balloon. Step-by-step experiments
and projects - including making a balloon jet, a kite and a rocket
- will help you to understand how flight works.

Itsy Bitsy Spider is trying to climb the waterspout, in spite of
the rain. But what's Incy Wincy Spider doing? And what is Itchy
Nitchy Spider trying to climb? Look through the die-cut holes in
each page to see what Itsy Bitsy's friends are climbing. The
perfect fun introduction to different types of weather
This is a fascinating fact file and learn-it-yourself project book.
It is an accessible and lively introduction to every aspect of
flight, including wings and lift, air resistance, gliding and
soaring, in both machines and the animal kingdom. It features 18
hands-on experiments to help you really find out for yourself -
make a miniature plane and a hot-air balloon, construct a kite, and
build models to demonstrate how birds fly and how jet engines work.
It features more than 240 pictures include step-by-step photographs
and explanatory diagrams. It is ideal for 8- to 12-year-olds for
home or school use. For both humans and animals, wings are the
quickest way to get around. A peregrine falcon's dramatic dive
makes it the swiftest creature on Earth. A jumbo jet's engine makes
it ten times faster than a boat or a train. This exciting and
practical science book explains how insects, birds, bats and
machines are able to fly, how wings and engines work, what flight
is like in Space, and what the future may hold. Easy-to-do projects
using everyday objects allow young scientists to discover the
fantastic facts for themselves. You can see how a propeller
operates and how a rocket blasts off into the heavens. You can make
a fun frisbee, a model parachute, and turn a simple balloon into a
hovercraft! Detailed photographs and diagrams accompany all the
projects and illustrate the various aspects of flight, carrying
young readers along on a thrilling journey through the world of air
travel.
Trains and other vehicles that travel on rails and tracks have been
around for hundreds of years. While most of these are for
transport, roller coasters and a few others are just for fun! Find
out how maglev trains use magnets to reach speeds of more than 250
miles per hour. Discover what it's like to travel in a pod car, and
learn how the world's wildest roller coasters live up to their
scream-worthy rankings. See the most awesome rides on tracks and
rails!
Tons of trucks
before our eyes
In every color,
shape and size
Preschoolers meet many different, useful vehicles and the
adorable animals who drive them in this playfully rhythmic tour of
trucks. Presented in the same successful format of Matthew Van
Fleet's "Tails, " bright colors, touchable textures, shiny metallic
paper, and moving parts are a feast for little ones' eyes and
fingers. Like the sweet animal characters who drive them, kids are
sure to shout "We love "all "trucks "
