We use machines every day, but most of us don't understand how they work. When they break down, most of us have no idea how to fix them. Mechanics are the masters of machines. Readers learn that mechanics work on vehicles, including cars, boats, and buses. They use special tools to take them apart and fix what's wrong, and they use their experience and technology to diagnose problems. They often work long hours, sometimes in bad weather, to get us where we need to go. Your readers will see that mechanics keep our world moving and growing.

Gr 1-3-This series offers a glimpse into the lives of workers in their neighborhoods. The text describes a short history of the trade, the required tools and training, and the routine tasks in the field. Readers will come away with an understanding that many jobs are more complex than they may appear. A glossary and an index are included. Each page of text is accompanied by a full-page image, but the vocabulary will still be difficult for some young readers. VERDICT This series celebrates community members but might be too advanced for some readers.
