The Kid Who Invented the Trampoline: More Suprising Stories about Inventions

120 pp. | Dutton | July, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-525-46654-1 $$15.99
(4) 4-6 In a lively, colloquial style, Wulffson presents brief accounts of the origins of several dozen varied inventions, from the animated cartoon to the Zamboni, as well as contact lenses, leotards, and toilets. Well-documented photographs and other visuals illustrate each entry, and sidebars offer further tidbits. The text is a bit simplistic and editorialized, though.
