Rube Goldberg's Simple Normal Definitely Different Day Off (Rube Goldberg’s Simple Normal)
Description
In Rube Goldberg’s Simple Normal Definitely Different Day Off, follow along with the young inventor in this wacky, STEAM-focused picture book.
A “definitely different” follow-up to Rube Goldberg’s Simple Normal Humdrum School Day, written by Jennifer George, the granddaughter of Rube Goldberg, and illustrated by Reuben Award-winning artist Ed Steckley. In this collaboration, they imagine Rube Goldberg as a young inventor who builds complex machines to solve simple, everyday problems.
Follow along as he invents zany chain-reaction contraptions to have the best day off from school ever—including a simple way to play fetch in the yard without leaving his bedroom, a self-operating swing, and a super simple series of movie snacking machines.
“Colorful, amusing, and detailed double-page spreads resemble the real Rube Goldberg’s cartoons . . . Endpapers with sight gags, a progression of animals, and more add to the merriment, while a concluding look at simple machines keeps the antics educational.” —Booklist
