Follow along with young inventor Rube Goldberg on his day off from school 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 award-winning artist Ed Steckley. In their latest 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.

在这本古怪的、以STEAM为重点的图画书中，跟随小发明家鲁布·戈德堡（Rube Goldberg）放假一天。

本书是《鲁布·戈德堡的简单正常乏味的学校生活》“绝对不同”的后续作品，由鲁布·戈德堡的孙女珍妮弗·乔治（Jennifer George）撰写，并由获奖艺术家埃德·斯特克利（Ed Steckley）绘制插图。在绘本中，鲁布·戈德堡是一个年轻的发明家，通过建造复杂的机器来解决简单的日常问题。跟随戈德堡的脚步，发现他发明的古怪的连锁反应装置，让他度过了有史以来**的休息日，还有一个不离开卧室就能在院子里玩取物的简单方法，一个可自动操作的秋千，以及一系列非常简单的电影零食机器。
