Review: A critical lesson for cultivating creativity accessible to anyone - This teaches a wonderful lesson for young people: not to just be curious but OBSERVANT. Over and over, the author shows by interesting short stories and delightful illustrations how needs and experiments produced unanticipated great results. In fact, mankind is where we are today because of keen observation, as the author shows: fire! I particularly enjoyed the origin story of WD-40. That plus masking tape are the inventions I most appreciated. Indeed, "Scotch" tape is another example shown here. Did you ever wonder where the name came from? Read this short book! But this book is not just about origins, but understanding how common "miracles" actually work, very informative. It's amazing how much has come from "accidents" being turned into marvels. Well-written, well-organized, and highly entertaining, this book is a treat for both wide-eyed youngsters and us jaded oldsters. Highly recommended!
Review: Really Fun and Interesting Book! - This book is so much fun and full of interesting stories about the invention of things we see and use everyday. The stories are short and well written. This is great for kids and inspires creativity and fosters an inventive mind. I enjoyed reading the book and learning about the origin of things like Mountain Dew, scotch tape, and ivory soap. This makes a fun book for a stocking stuffer idea or a book to read during long road trips and plane rides.
