This book covers fascinating origin stories of 60 every-day items that were invented by accident; that is, the inventor did not expect to make the product when the product was discovered.
Nature does it best...and did it first! Explore the ways we have looked to nature for brilliant new designs and innovations to solve our own conundrums. Each example in nature is paired with a fun, rhyming description, an example of how it has been used by us, and a question to the reader―"what other problems can be solved?"
