Tom’s Magnificent Machines is a magically inventive, colourful and captivating picture book about the power of love between father and son.
Tom and his dad are good at making things. Their inventions start out simple, but then become very ambitious – they get faster, crazier – and usually involve wheels. Everything changes however when Dad loses his job. Sadness descends upon the house and Dad desperately, and without success, searches for a new job. Then Tom comes up with a brilliant plan that takes their amazing vehicle inventions and creates something quite astounding – something the world has never seen before. Once again however, disaster strikes and Tom and his Dad have to come up with an even more ingenious new plan.
This is an emotionally charged and highly imaginative book that explores themes of love and support between children and their parents. It is, moreover, great fun, with incredible inventions, crazy contraptions and a wonderfully inspiring pioneering spirit at its heart.
