how things work book
How Things Work 
Discover the secrets and science behind bounce houses, hovercraft, robotics and everything in between in this book that provides both the quick answers AND complete explanations for all things high tech, low tech and no tech (how DOES glue work???). Detailed diagrams, revealing photos, hands-on activities and and fascinating facts all help to demystify many common items — like how a microwave works, how an eraser makes pencil marks disappear and how an iPad or tablet can do so much —  and also delves into the more futuristic — but very real — inventions like bionics, invisible cloaks and  tractor beams.  “Tales from the Lab” and profiles of talented engineers, inventors and scientists provide plenty of inspiration.

    I think my favorite Christmas book now is The Immortal Nicholas. Not a kid’s book, but I was crying for the last half of the story, it was so good, and I was feeling for the main character.

    **a question**

    The entry that reads
    “Enter the Holiday Giveaway
    Name? This will be verified!”
    Leads to a BLOGGER OPP page.
    (from May 18th)
    What are we supposed to enter?
    How will it be verified?

    I went via a link from that page to https://thekidsdidit.com/2016/11/spectacular-gifts-during-the-this-or-that-holiday-event/
    “This OR That Grand Prize – Magformers and Spectrum Diversified”
    and entered there.
    Can you verify to me, that that will be counted? If so, how?
