The Steam Kids

About the Book

Is a highly enjoyable journey about the process of turning water into steam. It is also about inviting children how to imagine why these animated steam drops; aka "kids" interact with a steam locomotive's internal and external components. (parts) The result of this wonderful and highly visual relationship is dynamic motion. Unlike science books that explain pure mechanical functionality to an older, more advanced student. The Steam Kids allow children to more readily engage their own creative faculties, ask pertinent questions, and most of all have loads of fun.
