Product Description

Product Description
A funny and fascinating look at over 300 of the world's most important inventions, from the steam engine to the light bulb – now in paperback Meet the Brainwaves, hilarious little mischief-makers who are about to take your child on an amazing journey to discover everything about the inventions that changed the way people live. These pint-sized pals will tell them all about key inventions, the breakthroughs that lead to them, and the spectacular spin offs which followed. From when the first wheel was used and who the bright sparks that thought of the light bulb were, to what connects a teapot to a 400-kph train. Help your child discover all about the inventions that changed the world (and lead to almost everything else that’s ever been invented). With fantastic foldout pages, the whole story will unravel in front of their eyes!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great little book packed with facts., 13 Nov 2008
By K. Brotzman "85kab" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book for my son's seventh birthday and he has gone back to it over and over again. Written and illustrated in an easy to understand and humourous style, it covers nearly every major invention of modern times (plus a few not so major ones - a motorised noodle fork, for example?!). I highly recommend this book to anyone whose child, like mine, has an inquisitive mind and a thirst for knowledge, and who loves non-fiction books just as much as the more conventionally loved fairy stories.
