review 1: “The Everything Machine” is just that, a machine that does everything for you that you find difficult or boring. (I wouldn’t mind the machine coming and doing my job for me today so I could stay home and sleep! LOL). There is a planet called Planet Quirk and on that planet that is exactly what they have. In fact this machine does so many things for those Quirkians (that’s what people on planet Quirk are called) that they don’t have to do anything but sleep all day. The Quirkians were very happy and content that the machine took care of everything for them. And because there was nothing for them to do most days they just lay around all day. Imagine having a machine that cooks your breakfast, mows your lawn, does your homework, and washes your dishes. I wish I ... morehad a machine that could help me do all the things that I hate doing. Don’t you?WELL. . .Excerpt: One day the machine just stopped. (Can you imagine that? It just stopped working.) There was no Chug! Chug! Or Puff! Puff! “My lawn needs mowing.” “Where is my breakfast?” “My book needs coloring” They all began to shout. They tried to fix it. They talked to it. They even kicked it but nothing happened. Until… Someone discovered a small label. What do you think the label said?Well you are going to have to read this book to find the answer to that question and what the Quirkians did next.My PreK and Kindergarten students just loved this book. The really enjoyed the rhyming words which tend to sound musical. It is a definite good read.
review 2: “The Everything Machine” written by Matt Novak tells the story of an amazing machine from the planet Quirk. This machine does everything from cooking to cleaning to even coloring. The machine seems to make life much easier for the inhabitants of planet Quirk until one day the machine breaks down. The people must learn to survive on their own without their beloved machine! However, the townspeople learn to love doing things on their own and no longer see the need for such a machine. This book is so well written that I would love to have it in my classroom. The pictures are so wonderfully done and the story line is fantastic. less
