Book Review: Engineering the ABC's

Engineering the ABC’s – How Engineers Shape Our World by Patty O’Brien Novak is a wonderful little book for elementary age children. Written by a mechanical engineer, it is filled with information about how things work. Every page could begin a lengthy classroom discussion as it relates engineering to everyday things in a child’s life. Engaging, fun and informative, this book would be a hit for talking to elementary students during Engineers Week.

From the back cover: Imagine a world without cars and computers, or toys and televisions, or movies and microwaves. Then imagine a world without engineers. Engineering the ABC's answers questions about how everyday things work and how engineering relates to so many parts of a child's daily life. In an entertaining and engaging way, this book shows how engineers shape our world.
