Book Overview
Do you ever wonder where the stuff around you actually came from?
(No, not from eBay.)
In Kay’s Incredible Inventions, the fourth laugh-out-loud book from bestselling duo Adam Kay and Henry Paker, you’ll discover the weird, wonderful, and downright ridiculous history of the world’s greatest (and not-so-great) inventions.
Did you know:
Velcro was invented by a dog?
WiFi was invented by a movie star?
Ancient Greeks wiped their bums on dinner plates?
And margarine used to be full of maggots?
From toilets to telephones, and mobile phones to margarine, this A to Z guide takes readers through the coolest, grossest, and most unexpected inventions that changed the world — plus a few that absolutely didn’t.
Full of facts, laughs, and brilliantly bizarre stories, this book is perfect for curious kids (and grown-ups) who love a good giggle while they learn.
