PRODUCT SUMMARY

For sale in U.S. and Canada only-- In Cooling, a visiting inventor and two young islanders, Olive and Troy, try to beat the heat on a hot summer day by cooling off in the river -- only to find that the Island’s mammoth population has already beaten them to the water and there’s no room left for the humans! Olive suggests that they build a machine to create a breeze for them. After tinkering in the inventor’s workshop for a time, they apply what they learn about how refrigerators work and wind up building some machines that are really cool -- with no mammoths necessary! Part of the multivolume series The Way Things Work, based on the best-selling book by David Macaulay. Includes a Teacher's Guide.

EDITORIAL REVIEWS

"The series is humorous, informative and very educational. Explanations are clear and relevant, with neccesary diagrams to explain exactly how things work...These are exceptional physics videos that merit a place in all educational collections."- School Library Journal (August 2003)
