A boy's innovative genius proves that machines can never replace writers in this picture book about creativity, imagination, and the writing process I need more books. I just can't get enough. But how does one make a book? I've seen books at the school and the library. How do they get their books? They must use a book-making machine. What happens when a book-loving child can't get books fast enough? He'll build a machine that will produce an entire library, of course! With a doohickey here and a whatchamacallit there, he puts his book machine together and waits for the books to pop out . . . and waits . . . and waits. After checking to make sure there wasn't a dragon inside the machine gobbling up all his books, he deduces that he must write his own story.
Combining science with art and writing,
The Book Machine introduces kids to creativity and critical thinking, teaching them to solve problems and utilize all their talents in order to reach their goals. With adorable illustrations that spark the imagination, every page will have kids falling in love with making ideas come to life. And a list of helpful, easy-to-follow steps at the end will walk kids through the writing process, encouraging them to begin writing their own stories with the book machines built right inside of them.
