The Right type to "Indoctrinate."
My age 9, and age 7, grandkids are enjoying what they are learning about these inventions. Much better way to "indoctrinate" kids, rather than with politics or sociology. This is inspiring and quite informative.

Epic Stories & Epic Foundational Inventions
A great book for introducing Inventions that are now taken as if they were always here or never needed to be for generations who grew up outside their transition and transformation of society. As always, Riddleland provides quality illustrations and pages of appropriate and interesting information. Definite buy!

Empowering to kids
Kids are naturally curious, and this book taps into that curiosity by covering a number of inventions that were discovered by accident. Even I, as a grown-up, learned quite a few things in the process of reading this to one of my children!

Great value for money -- quality book - informative and entertaining!
A nice chunky book -- great value for money. Really nicely set out inside - so it's fun and interesting to look at and read. Illustrations throughout. Fascinating stories ... I'd defy anyone to read this and not end up learning lots of new things! Each invention has just the right amount of information to be interestinga nd informative. A great gift for kids!

Fun and educational for kids of all ages
I'm definitely pleased with this purchase. I can see going down well with kids of all ages. I didn't know about half of the accidental inventions mentioned in this book so is actually quite fun to read for me as well. It's well put together with fun illustrations and is a very easy read. Highly recommended for a Christmas present. A+
