A joyfully illustrated picture book biography of Rube Goldberg for STEM-loving
children and the many people who enjoy doing simple tasks the hard way -
plus an introduction to the six simple machines.
There are lots of things you can do the simple way:
set an alarm,
flip a switch
open a door,
toast some bread . . .
But what if instead you did things the Rube Goldberg way?
endlessly entertaining,
needlessly complex,
a delicate balance of physics, humor, and excitement . . .
Really, why do anything the simple way . . . if, for instance, there is a catapult
option?
