<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Explore the functions of levers, wheels, and pulleys, and learn how to lift a lion, pull a panda, and deliver a basket of bananas to a baboon birthday party!<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>How do you lift a lion? With a machine that's big and powerful with clanking metal parts? There are machines like that. But others 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!</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>A basic introduction to levers, wheels, and pulleys. As two children lift a lion, pull a panda, and deliver a basket of bananas to a baboon party, Wells offers explanations for how and why these simple machines work. The hand-lettered text identifies technical terms such as fulcrum, force, friction, and other such words (also included in a glossary).--<em>School Library Journal</em></p><br><br><p>This book is an introduction to three simple machines: the lever, the pulley, and the wheel. Lifting lions, pulling pandas, and raising a basket of bananas are the tasks the devices are used for. The humorous illustrations both inform and amuse the reader.--<em>The Horn Book Guide</em></p><br>
