About
the
Series It
Works!
Is a series about advances in technology in such fields as space,
transportation, communications, and computers. The books take a lighthearted,
kid-friendly approach. Cartoonlike graphics combine with solid text in spreads
to make learning easy. Each book takes the young reader from the beginnings of
the particular technology through the latest development. Each chapter focuses
on the key inventor or scientist who made a breakthrough, or revolution, in the
technology. Simple, hands-on activities reflect the science behind the
technology. Deceptively simple – and often funny – these books offer
kids a way to understand the history and workings of important technologies,
subjects of particular value to children today.
