This Book Thinks You're an Inventor
Paperback – February 11, 2020
Using fun activities and hilarious illustrations, this fill-in book helps children think like an inventor.
This interactive book helps children think like an inventor by noticing details, questioning everything, and dreaming up new ideas. Through fun activities and Harriet Russell’s hilarious illustrations, This Book Thinks You’re an Inventor encourages readers to engage with new ideas by creatively experimenting and investigating for themselves.
The book explores six subjects: engineering household objects, transportation, flight, AI and robots, construction, and the future of science. Each spread centers on an open-ended question or activity, with space on the page for the child to write, draw, or interact with the book. At the end, there are paper-based tinkering activities and experiments for children.
Hand-drawn illustrations and a collage-style use of photographs give the book a fresh, creative, and fun approach that makes the scientific content appealing for children.
Illustrated in color throughout
