PRODUCT SUMMARY
For sale in U.S. and Canada only-- In Pumps, all is well on Mammoth Island when suddenly Brenda's baking shed has caught fire! Soon the Mammoth Island Fire Brigade arrives and attempts to put the fire out using water-filled mammoths. However, young Olive is sure that a machine might make it easier to get water to a fire. Looking at her bicycle pump, she wonders if it might be possible to create a device for pumping water. With the help of the inventor and other islanders, Olive builds a water pump that is soon put to the test and saves the summer barbecue! 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)
