Product Description

Review

"Swain's vibrantly colored, pencil-outlined watercolors with expression-full, perspectively skewed, anthropomorphized caricatures are playful, appealing to storyteller and listener alike."

Eccentric inventor Professor Dorothy Dabble sets off to London with Digby her pet robot, to enter a competition for the best invention. On the way, they discover lots of amazing stories about the invention of everyday objects.

5.0 out of 5 stars Science Week, 13 Nov 2009
By D. Pearce (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Dotty Inventions: And Some Real Ones Too (Paperback)
We used Dotty for a whole school science week project. The children really enjoyed finding out about Dotty and her whacky inventions. They then went on to produce some very interesting inventions of their own. Would definately recommend this book especially in schools for children aged 4 - 8.
