Book Review and Giveaway: Small Inventions That Make a Big Difference

Update: I spun the random generator and the number 2 popped up, so Mommy Cracked is the winner of this drawing! Congrats and enjoy!

Somewhere, someday when I was at a book sale, I picked up the book "Small Inventions That Make a Big Difference" This book was published by the National Geographic Society in 1984. So in on sense it is dated. There are no mentions of any of the inventions made in the last twenty four years. And the photos are from the 70s and 80s and you will absolutely love the photo of the 'modern' word processor. But all of that aside, the information is still interesting and valuable.

The first part of the book talks about how inventions come about (some through years of work and effort, some by accident). It explains the patent process. Then the end of the book is inventions A-Z. We really enjoyed learning about everthing from the invention of Aspirin to the Zipper. There are great pictures, each description is just a couple of paragraphs long and the kids stayed very interested in it. I am sure that you could find other such interesting books by heading to the bookstore or library, and you may prefer to find one more updated, but I wanted to offer you the chance to receive this book for free from me! This book is in very good condition, is hardback and is 104 pp long. If you would like to learn more about how many common items were invented, I think you and your child would enjoy this book!

Just comment below. I will hold the drawing on January 23rd at 6 pm. It is open to United States addresses only unless you want to pay the postage to ship overseas if you win.

Good luck!
