Some of the Amazing Machine's books by Tony Mitton are better than others. I was pleased to find that Super Submarines is one of the better ones. My son and I also recommend Cool Cars, Tough Trucks, Amazing Airplanes, and Tremendous Tractors. Roaring Rockets, Terrific Trains, and Dazzling Diggers are not as good.
I purchased multiple copies of this book to give as a gift with the Green Toys submarine!! I did this for my grandchildren....find a good book and purchase a good toy to go with it....in this case I purchased Green Toys submarine and paired it with a Tony Mitton Amazing Machines book to match. I did the same with the boats, dump truck and a few others.....
I am a U.S. Navy Submariner, and I love to read this book to my daughter. She's just about a year, and not sure how much she actually gets. It talks about Sonar and ballasting and control surfaces and even about ROVs. High recommended for kids or grandkids of any Bubblehead.
Super Submarines is the 10th and latest in a series of kids books that center on machines and vehicles such as trains, planes, cars, tractors, etc. Our son loves this books and I think I have them all memorized from the number of times I have read them. As in all the others, the art in Super Submarines is playful and colorful, following the main characters, a bird, bunny, and mouse through a submarine, exploring what they do and how they operate. Although somewhat simplistic and at times a bit forced for rhymes sake, the prose accurately depicts how a sub works which I like as I find it educational for a three year old!Overall, we really like the book but I give it four stars as it's not the best in the series. Still great but if you haven't started with any, I would recommend Terriffic Trains, Roaring Rockets, Cool Cars, or Busy Boats first.
My husband is a submariner, so we bought this book for my daughter. She loves it! While the submarine of course isn't like the ones in this book, there are a lot of words and images that make sense. It's fun for my husband to read it to her and explain how submarines work.
Bought this for my 2 year old and she likes the pictures. Bought another copy for a friend's4 year old son, while his dad was deployed, and my friend cried when she said he finally understands whu daddy is gone, and that his tears at night while he misses daddy, are fewer because now he can see why daddy is needed by other people. Made me cry too!!! I HIGHLY recommend this book for any family dealing with the submarine life!Ps, my husband read this and he said is almost creepy how accurate this book is!
I teach a STEM enrichment class for kids age 3 - 6. We've read and enjoyed several books in the Amazing Machines series. The fun, colorful illustrations and rhyming text really appeal to the kids. This one does a nice job of covering all the basic science about submarines. Some ideas are a little over my students' heads (sonar, and the fact that submersibles repair oil rigs - my students don't know what those are) but they didn't notice or mind this issue. We read this book on the day we were studying submarines, and making a "ballast submarine" out of water bottles, marbles and a straw, and making a watertight "sub" out of a plastic Easter egg. The book was a great accompaniment to our activities. (Find out more about our experiments on my blog, Inventors of Tomorrow.
Learn about how submarines operate in this underwater adventure featuring an animal crew that explains the ins and outs of operating this special vessel. Part of the Amazing Machines series (airplanes, trucks, tractors, etc.) this picture book keeps it simple while touching base on all the main features of a sub. This is sure to be a hit with boys and many girls. What's not to like about an undersea journey?Book provided by publisher.
