The two also prove that curious children can be just like scientists, making observations and using how and what questions to explore physical science principles they encounter all the time. \u003ci\u003eMichael's Racing Machine\u003c\/i\u003e is part of the I Wonder Why book series, written to ignite the curiosity of children in grades K-6 while encouraging them to become avid readers.
