Lots of our engineers have chosen stories to accompany their activities, and made other reading suggestions. Sometimes the engineering link is clear from the book and other times the matched activity will make the engineering link clear. Some engineers have even written their own comics. You can find the story suggestions and activity links below. Let us know what are your favourite engineering books, either from the below or other suggestions, and why via Facebook, Twitter or email.

If you are a teacher wanting to know more about teaching engineering to young children we really enjoyed Making and Tinkering with STEM by Cate Heroman.
