Summary:

"For 24 seasons and counting, How It's Made has been an enthralling presence on Science Channel, educating its viewers on the process of making everything from bread to bifocals and breaking down complex ideas and processes with language everyone can understand. A "how-it's-made" guide for relentlessly curious kids between the ages of eight and twelve, this book will teach young readers how the items they love and use every day come to be, with simple yet captivating descriptions, and full-color illustrations and photographs. Each chapter will focus on one specific item of particular interest to middle-grade readers, such as airplanes, candy, or basketballs, and break down exactly what happens at the factory to make things tick" -- Provided by publisher.
