Frank Einstein, Watson and their robots, Klink and Klank, build a static-electricity finger while trying to provide free electricity to their town, Midville. In the book, their enemies are T. Edison and Mr. Chimp who are trying to make the whole town need him to provide their electricity. This struggle about the town's electricity supply makes for a fun story.
Children that are interested in science will enjoy the illustrations and drawings throughout the book and continue to be drawn into the story. There is a world of information and learning provided through the illustrations alone and many could be used to spark scientific discussions and debates with students.
This book will engage students in the science of energy in its different forms and there are several ways that it can spark continued research by readers about science. Use of this book before performing science experiments could be interesting also because it would introduce the idea of being a scientist, experimenter, or even an inventor.
