LIFT, MIX, FLING!: MACHINES CAN DO ANYTHING is a delightful picture book that discusses machines in simple terms. The book starts with describing simple machines and evolving into those that are more complex. For instance, a wedge is a simple machine, as are wheels. It also covers a few more complex (compound) machines such as tractors and ships.
What I loved: Whimsical drawings alongside simplified information about machines make this an entertaining and educational read. The book aims to distill the basics around simple vs compound machines. The text rhymes, making it roll off the tongue and adding to the reading fun. The text is printed in a large and clear font that makes it easy to read aloud. With bright colors and plenty of machines to view, this is sure to delight young readers, particularly preschoolers.
Final verdict: Clever rhymes, whimsical illustrations, and bright colors make this a charming picture book read about machines. Educational and delightful, preschoolers are sure to enjoy this fun read!
