Graphic Novel
Part comic strip and part science experiment, Howtoons shows
children how to find imaginative new uses for common
household items like soda bottles, duct tape, mop buckets,
and more–to teach kids the "Tools of Mass Construction"! Howtoons are cartoons that teach 8– to 15–year–old readers
"how to" build, create, and explore things. Combining a fun,
full–color cartoon format and real life science and
engineering principles, Howtoons are designed to encourage
kids to become active participants in the world around them. Readers meet Tucker and Celine, a lovable brother and sister
pair. Sick of watching TV and playing video games, Tucker
and Celine decide to conquer every kid's nightmare: the
dreaded summer o' boredom. Armed with countless ideas for
fun projects, they set out to reclaim the sheer joy of
playing. Fifteen practical, build–it–yourself projects are
weaved into the Tucker and Celine storyline. With the
narrators' help and clear step–by–step instructions, young
readers will learn how to set up a workshop, create a
marshmallow shooting gun, make ice cream without a freezer,
play songs on a turkey baster flute, explore a homemade
terrarium, launch a pressure–powered rocket, and more! Utilizing inexpensive, kid–friendly materials, Howtoons will
prove that the world at large is infinitely more exciting
than anything happening on the TV or computer screen. Plus,
each project will provide readers with practical skills and
problem solving know–how that they can use in their everyday
lives. These funny, interactive Howtoons are sure to inspire
independence and creative savvy in young people everywhere.
