Kay and her classmates experience an unusually hot day inside their school. When Kay tries to help, she accidentally causes the school's air conditioning to stop. They call the Next Up Trades, and their HVACR technicians, Gomer Gopher and Drafty Giraffe, to come and save the day. Kay and the class learn about teamwork, HVACR technology, and develop a deeper appreciation for the skilled trades.
The book provides HVACR word associations throughout the story, and the last page concludes with a word and image association lesson. This tool assists children's retention of industry-related vocabulary.
The second book in the NEXT UP TRADES series, sponsored by the ACCA (Air Conditioning Contractors of America), is available in English & Spanish along with multiple formats (paperback and Kindle).
This popular kids' book, perfect for Career Day, encourages future plans for kids in skilled trades. Titles like "Boys Book of Trades," "Blue Collar ABC," "When I Grow Up," and "What Shoes Will You Wear" are also great additions to inspire young readers.
"The Air Came To A Stop" is an excellent gift for children who are curious about how things work and enjoy hands-on activities. Fans of educational stories and parents looking to introduce their kids to the world of skilled trades will find this book invaluable. As one reader put it, "This book not only entertains but also educates, making it a must-have for every young reader's collection."
