Telescopes and clocks and trains- all big ideas from human brains!

From bridges and boats to medicines and mobile phones, this book takes readers on a journey of discovery through all the amazing inventions human beings have come up with. Learn how rocks and stones helped create the pyramids and how modern materials such as concrete and nylon have changed our lives.

Lively rhyming text by James Carter and electrifying illustrations by Margaux Carpentier

Industry Reviews
Carter's thoughtful and beautifully written poetry introduces young readers to five concepts which are at the heart of our lives, and with Carpentier's electrifying artwork to bring his gentle but informative words to life, there could be no better way to introduce children to the concept of invention.
