Hello All:

If anyone is looking for quality reading material for younger folk- 18 months to 5 years-old- may I recommend the "Amazing Machines: Truckload of Fun" box set. (http://www.amazon.com/Truckload-Fun-Box-AMAZING-MACHINES/dp/0753461544/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1203316719&sr=1-4)

Each book in this series focuses on a different machine, be it an airplane, an automobile, or a rocket. The rhymes, not being in baby talk, actually speak to the usefulness of each piece of technology. And the illustrations keep the attention of kids that can not yet read.

Kid tested, Father approved.

Thanks, Tyson.

Education of the young is arguably the most important investment we humans have for our future. That's why Rand said that bad teaching is our main problem in our lives on Earth. It looks like this is a good idea of yours. The subject matter, machines (tools intelligently designed by man), is definitely an avenue for good teaching!
