Machines

Everywhere you look, machines are helping us—lifting, pulling, rolling, cutting, and making everyday tasks easier. But what exactly makes a machine a machine?

In this engaging introduction to machines, young readers discover the powerful idea behind all mechanical inventions: every complicated device—from bicycles to bulldozers—is built from just a handful of basic tools that change force to help us work smarter, not harder. Kids will explore levers, wheels, pulleys, inclined planes, screws, and wedges, learning how each one transforms motion and energy in surprising ways.

Perfect for curious minds, this book invites children to:

• Spot simple machines hidden in everyday objects
• Understand how machines reduce effort and increase power
• See how big, impressive machines are really combinations of simple ones
• Build early STEM confidence through clear explanations and real‑world examples

Machines turns science into discovery—helping kids see their world with new eyes and inspiring them to explore the mechanics all around them.
