236I: A steampunkish picture book

Early 90s, I was 8-10 years old, I had this favorite book. It was wider than it was tall (maybe 12” x8”?) paper back and maybe 20 pages or something thin like that. I don’t remember there being a main character, but all the pictures where lots of shades of brown and copper. I would even say steampunkish. The plot had something to do with the machine having an assembly line of all these different gadgets. I vaguely remember gears or oil…I’m pretty sure it was very fantasy and even some anthropomorphism with the machines. Any ideas?

    Hi, that’s a good guess on the illustrations! I remember them being a little less refined and more cartoony, but certainly a dark amber feel to them.

    it definitely was not an activity book. There was a story line, but I can’t for the life of me remember what it was…
