Rube Goldberg's Simple Normal Humdrum School Day

Join Rube Goldberg as he navigates the most complicated œsimple school day ever in this wildly imaginative and STEM-infused picture book. With his trademark flair, Rube turns ordinary routines-like brushing teeth or getting dressed-into hilariously over-engineered contraptions. Each invention is a visual delight, inviting readers to follow the zany sequences and spot cause-and-effect relationships. With humour, curiosity, and clever illustrations, this book introduces children to creative problem-solving, engineering concepts, and the joy of thinking differently.
