In rhythmic rhyming, this book will roll off your tongue, as it is ideal for reading aloud. * TSL (The School Librarian) *

Carter’s thoughtful and beautifully written poetry introduces young readers to five concepts which are at the heart of our lives, and with Carpentier’s electrifying artwork to bring his gentle but informative words to life, there could be no better way to introduce children to the concept of invention.
