Learn how animals do what machines can too!
A whale can dive, and so can a submarine. A pony will pull, just like a tow truck. In fact, every animal inAnimachines performs an action just like that of a vehicle!
Animachines creatively combines two of children's favorite topics -- animals and machines -- and compares them to demonstrate concepts like dig, crawl, squirt, and carry. In all, ten active animals and their actions are matched with ten mighty machines.
With words that whoosh, r-r-r-reach, and G-R-R-ROWL, and softly colored pictures alive with whimsy (and some tiny friends to find on each page),Animachines is sure to delight active young minds.
