Minton the spotty salamander loves things that move—boats, planes, cars, and trucks—and always finds just what he needs to make these vehicles. After each story, there are directions for making Minton’s favorite modes of transportation out of everyday kitchen materials such as margarine tubs, plastic bottles, corks, and skewers. In two exciting stories, Minton and Turtle pilot a submarine and fly high in a hot air balloon. A simple guide is included to help kids make their own model submarine and hot air balloon.
