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.
