Summary

In Rube Goldberg’s Simple Normal Definitely Different Day Off, follow along with the young inventor in this wacky, STEAM-focused picture book.

A “definitely different” follow-up to Rube Goldberg’s Simple Normal Humdrum School Day, written by Jennifer George, the granddaughter of Rube Goldberg, and illustrated by Reuben Award-winning artist Ed Steckley. In this collaboration, they imagine Rube Goldberg as a young inventor who builds complex machines to solve simple, everyday problems.

Follow along as he invents zany chain-reaction contraptions to have the best day off from school ever—including a simple way to play fetch in the yard without leaving his bedroom, a self-operating swing, and a super simple series of movie snacking machines.

“Colorful, amusing, and detailed double-page spreads resemble the real Rube Goldberg’s cartoons . . . Endpapers with sight gags, a progression of animals, and more add to the merriment, while a concluding look at simple machines keeps the antics educational.” —Booklist
