Bookroo's summary

Meet the inventors who transformed our world, from Cai Lun's paper to James West's microphone. Discover the stories behind groundbreaking creations like Gutenberg's printing press and da Vinci's flying machines. This charming book inspires young dreamers to innovate and imagine their own inventions, celebrating the spirit of curiosity and problem-solving that shapes our future.

From the publisher

You are never too little to have big dreams! Have you ever dreamed of inventing something? Cai Lun invented paper in China long ago. James Edward West created a tiny microphone. Mary Anderson produced windshield wipers! Discover history’s brilliant inventors in this adorably illustrated tribute to people who have shaped our world. From Benjamin Franklin, who discovered that lightning is electric, to Jeanne Villepreux-Power, who built the first aquarium, Great Inventors honors the problem solvers who changed our world with their ideas. If you have ever wondered who created the tiny microphone that allows us to use telephones and other original creations, this delightful little book is a must-have. This board book is ideal for readers with a persistent spirit and curious mind–to innovate, craft, and transform notions into reality. Dream up making a machine to print books with Johannes Gutenberg and devise flying machines with Leonardo da Vinci. From Starry Forest Books, Baby’s Big World introduces babies to big concepts–everything from rocket science to music–for the very first time.
