Howtoons - The Possibilities Are Endless!

Howtoons - The Possibilities Are Endless! by Saul Griffith, Joost Bonsen, illustrated by Nick Dragotta

Lurking in the corners of your garage, on the dusty shelves of hardware stores, and in your own trash can are the tools and ingredients for creating your own adventures! Follow Celine and Tucker as they learn the secrets of making their own entertainment. >Challenged to make something "other than trouble", this brother-and-sister pair use everyday objects to invent toys that you can build. Part comic strip and part science experiment,

Howtoons shows children how to find imaginative new uses for common household items like soda bottles, duct tape, mop buckets, and more - to teach kids the "Tools of Mass Construction"! Howtoons are cartoons that teach 8 to 15 year old readers "how to" build, create, and explore things. Combining a fun, full-color cartoon format and real life science and engineering principles, Howtoons are designed to encourage kids to become active participants in the world around them. Fifteen practical, build-it-yourself projects are weaved into the Tucker and Celine storyline. With the narrators' help and clear step-by-step instructions, young readers will learn how to set up a workshop, create a marshmallow shooting gun, make ice cream without a freezer, play songs on a turkey baster flute, explore a homemade terrarium, launch a pressure–powered rocket, and more! Utilizing inexpensive, kid-friendly materials, Howtoons will prove that the world at large is infinitely more exciting than anything happening on the TV or computer screen. Plus, each project will provide readers with practical skills and problem solving know-how that they can use in their everyday lives. These funny, interactive Howtoons are sure to inspire independence and creative savvy in young people everywhere.
