BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Franny is a girl who can fix anything. She encourages people to repair and reuse rather that throw things away. She fixes her friends wagon and makes it look new again. Franny explains the different simple machines that make up each item she fixes. She fixes a skateboard, wheelbarrow, scissors, and a go-kart. She even helps Mr. Mayor.
Franny’s Fix-it shop is a fun and interesting way to teach children about the physics of simple machines and how they use them in their everyday lives. I also liked the principles taught such as it is better to fix and reuse things instead of just throwing everything away, and fixing things is easy if you break them down into parts. The illustrations are bright, fun, clear and informative.
