âHaft (<i>Goodnight Bubbala</i>) introduces budding engineer Mazie McGear . . . who relishes solving problems and inventing fantastical machines to help out at home. In a palette of rust and turquoise, polished stylized illustrations by Holmes (<i>The Eye That Never Sleeps</i>) show Mazieâs thought process: âFirst I turn on my imagination . . . Then I draw . . . Then . . . I build!â . . . Pulsing with friendly energy, this STEM-starter conveys the sense that engineering is something any child can do. Back matter explains the ideas behind Mazieâs machines.â â<i>Publishers Weekly</i>
Mazie McGear loves to engineer! Whenever she encounters a problem, she turns on her imagination and starts drawing and building - think blink, ribble scribble, bing bang boom! Need a more convenient way to feed the dog? No problem! Mazie invents the Food-o-Matic. Mom needs help carrying boxes? No worries! Mazie makes her a Roly-Ramp. You can always count on Mazie to invent a machine that will make life easier - although her brother, Jake, isnât too thrilled with her Waker-Upper Rocket. But no worries. Engineering is so cool that before long he canât help but get into the invention action too!
