Penelope Wraps Things Up: The Adventures of Paige & Paxton
Paperback
(Honey Bee Company, The Nov. 13, 2018)
With Paige & Paxton, STEM starts with a story. These beautifully illustrated storybooks explore STEM concepts and careers through the lens of precocious little puzzle piece characters who live, work and play on the magical island of Puzzleland. Penelope, Paige and Paxton have an important task at hand: shopping for their school carnival. The last stop is Puzzleland Emporium, a big box store in the center of the island packed with everything the three friends could ever want or imagine. It’s the perfect backdrop to uncover packaging engineering, a field that doesn’t get a lot of attention. The story also sheds light on something else that often goes unnoticed: we live in a world in which virtually everything is the product of engineering—from our airplanes, computers, bridges and skyscrapers to the versatile containers that cover and protect the things we use everyday. Couple the storybook with the companion “Workbook for Penelope Wraps Things Up” to complete the set.
