One very hot day, Min, a budding engineer, builds a machine that draws water from a well and into a swimming pool.
Emily Arnold McCully has won many awards, including the Caldecott Medal for Mirette on the High Wire and a Christopher Award for Picnic. She is the author and illustrator of many books for young people, including Late Nate in a Race; Little Ducks Go; 3, 2, 1, Go!. One of her earlier I Like to Read titles, Pete Won't Eat, received starred reviews from Kirkus Reviews, which noted, "New readers will eat this up," and from School Library Journal, which said, "The illustrations are priceless." She lives in New York.
"Min is back and still solving problems like a pro. . . . This
pachyderm’s predilection for problem solving will delight readers
who will want to try this for themselves. Sure to be popular for
STEM lessons and a good addition for most collections."—School
Library Journal
"Min, the ingenious, intrepid little pachyderm protagonist of the
early reader 3-2-1-Go, is back to save the day with a new
invention. The social dynamics are the same: Min, whose bright pink
bow embodies her indomitable energy, wants to play with older
elephants Ann and Bess, but they view Min as a pest at best.
(Readers with older, too-cool-for-you siblings will instantly
identify.) . . . McCully (Caroline’s Comets) breaks down Min’s
problem solving into digestible, replicable parts and acknowledges
that every great solution takes hard work. It’s a nifty lesson in
both science and tenacity . . . "—Publishers Weekly
"This early reader has a resourceful elephant girl at its center. .
. . the controlled text and lively watercolor illustrations will
engage young readers learning to independently decode text and just
might inspire some to build their own machines, too. STEAM-y
early-reader fun."—Kirkus Reviews
