Review I always loved books as a kid that explained a concept I didn't fully grasp when I first saw it. Drawbridges is one of those books that does just that. The drawings, the explanation of how the bridge works, the daily process that the Bridge Tender goes through opening and closing the bridge engages the young reader in the marvels of a working bridge that is more than just a simple bridge. A child can get so much out of Drawbridges when they read it for the first time and even get more out of it when they read or share it with their siblings. A great book for those who want to understand the world they encounter.

It is hoped this book will not just expose kids to bridges, but in a fun way the PTM Werks Series is designed will answer the "why" questions kids often ask about how the machines all around us work that even most adults struggle to answer completely.? In early 2015 the next book in the series Airplanes Take off and Land and in fall 2015 Crosstown Trains Stop and Go. See all Editorial Reviews(展開(kāi))
