People make things. Humans have made tens of thousands of planes and hundreds of millions of cars. Last year, over a billion smartphones were made. Let's learn about how things are made. We start with clothes and cookies. In the book, Cozy Clothes, we start with fibers. Next, fibers are twisted into threads. Weave threads into cloth. Next, color, cut and sew into clothes. At the store, we see so many clothes. We learn to understand and appreciate all the hard work it takes people and machines to make clothes. In the book, Cookie Come-Froms, we learn how Cookies are made. Also, we know what each part adds to the complete cookie. After we know how clothes and cookies are made, we learn to be curious about how processes change materials into the other products we use every day.
