You never know where you might find engineering, science, and math hiding in great stories.
The Cricket in Times Square
The mouse’s name was Tucker, and he was sitting in the opening of abandoned drain pipe in the subway station at Times Square. The drain pipe was his home. Back a few feet in the wall, it opened out into a pocket that Tucker had filled with bits of paper and shreds of cloth he collected. And when he wasn’t collecting, “scrounging” as he called it, or sleeping, he liked to sit in the opening of the drain pipe and watch the world go by — at least as much of the world hurried through the Times Square subway station.
Mr. Popper’s Penguins
With little pleased nods of his handsome black head he was parading up and down inside of the bathtub. Sometimes he seemed to be counting the steps it took–six steps for the length, two steps for the width, six steps for the length again, and two more for the width.
The Wild Robot
Mr. Beaver asked Roz to dig a trench here, to place large stones there, to arrange logs this way, to smear mud that way. Birds and squirrels perched in the trees and watched the new lodge take shape. It resembled the beaver lodge, but it was larger, a great dome of wood and mud and leaves. A simple opening in the wall served as the entrance, and the door was nothing more than a heavy sone that the robot could slide out of the way.
