Karl's New Beak: 3-d Printing Builds a Bird a Better Life (Encounter: Narrative Nonfiction Picture Books With 4d)

Interesting story, just read it with my grandsons 8 & 10 year olds. They are seeing great things that can be done with a 3D printer!

Really cool book. Very interesting what can be done with 3 d printing. I love a happy ending.

Very cute book with a great story. My kids loved it

Karl's New Beak by Lela Margo is a book I requested from NetGalley and the review is voluntary. This book is for ages 6-8 but I think kids even older would enjoy this too.This book explains how Karl has lost half his bottom beak and all the many ways the people that work with him tried helping him by making acrylic fake beaks for him. None of them worked. Then the 3D printers and an old skeleton, that was similar to Karl's, assisted the making of a new beak for him. The book goes the the process and the problems they had. There are lots of pictures and why it was so important for Karl to get it fixed. Lots of questions are answered in here. Great informative book. Step by step with good up close photos!

What a fabulous book about 3-D printing and its role in giving new life to a disabled Abyssinian ground hornbill at the National Zoo! Teaches children science in a magical way. 5 of 5 Stars.Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the ARC. Opinions are mine. Pub Date 01 Mar 2019. #KarlsNewBeak #NetGalley
