Reviews
"Finally, an engineer writes a book for kids! Amazing Rubber Band Cars is much more than a throwback to the 1950s, when kids made their own toys. Mike Rigsby realizes that you learn more by building than by buying . . . and that home-brewing a cardboard car is just plain fun." -- Cliff Stoll, author, The Cuckoo's Egg"
"A clever craft collection. . . . These projects are fun to construct, and inquisitive minds will be fascinated by the moving cars, whether done for a science project or strictly for leisuretime enjoyment." --School Library Journal
"Filled with fun projects." -- Island Family Magazine
