Mazie loves to create machines. She finds things around her house that help her create a pulley, an inclined plane, a wedge, and wheel and axle, a lever, and a screw. She recruits her dog to test one of her machines. Now, how do they get her dog back down to earth?

What a delightful way to teach children about simple machines and how they work. The author and illustrator created a fabulous, intriguing story of an up and coming engineer. A fold out page and explanations of the different machines are added bonuses.
