Book Overview
How do you lift a lion? With a machine that's big and powerful with clanking metal parts? There are machines like that. But otheres have only a few moving parts. In fact, some machines are so simple that they don't seem like machines at all--like the wheel, the lever, and the pulley. These machines can make work easy--even if you're trying to lift a lion

Pulleys, fulcrums and levers!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
My 4 and 5 year olds have enjoyed reading this several times already! It's a good way to introduce simple machines to this age group, and has colorful pictures too! It's fun to think of lifting lions, or moving pandas on a wagon, or getting a bunch of bananas to a baboon party!
Excellent Curriculum Tie-In

This book easily and clearly illustrates the concept of pulley, screw and lever. Simple machines have never been so easy to explain. The cute animals and the banana party they have help the students in my 3rd grade class to understand force and work. Bravo!
