From the first wheel to the International Space Station, the miracles of
engineering are all around us. Think cars, bridges, skyscrapers, and
yes - even bubble wrap! Engineers dream up new ideas and bring them to
life while figuring out creative solutions to problems they encounter
along the way. But how do they do it? Find out in Solve This!
In this fun book, kids are confronted with wacky scenarios like this
one: You're playing with your little sister when a vulture swoops down
and grabs her favorite teddy bear. Mid-flight, the vulture realizes it
doesn't care for the taste of fake fur and drops it to the ground. But
now the plushie is on the other side of a raging river. How do you stop
your sister from crying, stay safe, and save the day? Each challenge
invites kids to think creatively to problem solve. Then they can see how
different National Geographic explorers tackled the challenge. One of
the big lessons? There's often more than one solution!
