Grade 3-5-This colorful, upbeat series entry is better for browsing than for use as a research tool. Divided into easily digestible segments that are presented in a question-and-answer format, the book covers the basics, including what it takes to be an inventor and the stories of some famous and not-so-famous innovators. Well-known contraptions, such as the zipper, Frisbee, and rockets, are introduced on a series of spreads that are divided by subject: "Everyday Inventions," "Wearable Inventions," "Around the House," "Fun and Games," "Edible Inventions," "On the Move," and "Medical Marvels." Yellow "Byte" boxes provide additional tidbits of information. Other sections encourage children to try their own hand at inventing with easy-to-replicate activities. A time line of the items covered lists the page on which each one can be found. Bright, comical, computer-created graphics break up the pages. An inviting offering that will be picked up and perused by young readers.
