The stories of twenty American kid inventors.

A nice assortment of examples of everyday items that were invented by children. Childhood is a prime time for thinking outside the box, even though school districts require them to fill in the bubbles. This book shows that children can come up with solutions to problems that are successful, well used solutions. I would use this book in a lesson about inventions, and use it to launch research into the history of common and useful items. ( )
