- Reading
- Browse a topic that interests your child, then pause at its diagrams or images to trace the parts and ask what each might do. You need not read the book from beginning to end.
- Themes
- How technology works: The book explains the science and workings of machines, gadgets and systems, using examples from mobile phones and games consoles to space planes. Its stated approach is informational: it aims to explain how technologies work and when and how some were invented.
- Worth knowing
- The subjects range from familiar devices to specialised examples such as a hydrogen-fuelled car and an earthquake-proofed office building. Consider whether that breadth suits your child’s interests.
