Publisher Summary

Inventor McGregor can invent most anything that needsinventing, from a barking bag for the postman to bouncingboots for wee Willie. At his home workshop, McGregor neverknows when inspiration will hit: while surrounded by his cheerywife and children, singing a song, or painting a picture. “Justimagine how many more gadgets and gizmos you’ll be able tothink up with a clear head and no distractions,” says thepresident of the Royal Society of Inventors, inviting him towork in the city. So why, in his new laboratory, is McGregorunable to think of a thing? Rich language that skips and jumps combined with lively, detailed art brings this delightful story home to young readersand their parents.
