  • Automata Too: Four Working Models to Cut Out and Glue Together

    Magdalen Bear

    Paperback (Tarquin Group, Jan. 1, 2001)
    Four working models to cut out and glue together. If you like making working models, then you will be delighted with this collection. The Runabout Train follows its track through the tunnel and the Busybuzzy bees buzz about in a rather random and beelike fashion. The Hare and the Tortoise race to a very close finish, and the Owl and the Pussycat set off in their peagreen boat. All of them make use of different mechanisms and the collection is a fine display of ingenious and colourful paper engineering.
