This is a very original and appealing series of activity books showing creative objects that children can compare both in the animals and in the human world. Using an ingegnous rotating mechanism and bionics-based principles, 24 animals relate to common things in life. They can also create 24 new concepts such as a Blue Whale Airship, a Shell Opera House, a Pelican Helicopter and a Giraffe Pilot. This set of books introduces three major themes in four volumes, respectively: Animal Mechanics, Animal Designing and Animal Architecture. Thanks to the rotating mechanism children can witness the connection between animals and machines, clothes and buildings simply rotating the wheel. And with a simple and easy-to-understand bionic knowledge, children can recognize animals and understand life in a unique and beautifully logic way.
