The Klutz Book of Inventions

Creativity and childhood go together like peanut butter and jelly, only better and longer-lasting! Stretch your child's ideas of the 'shoulds' and 'shouldn'ts' of creating -- and free their inventor's spirit -- with this one-of-a-kind book. They'll find all sorts of errant, thought-provoking inventions in the 200 pages of practicality, whimsy, cleverness, and gadgetry.

Your child will cheer for the PogoPlunger (yes, a toilet plunger--and yes, you jump up and down on it). His mouth will water over the tasty (albeit sticky) orange-juicer sipping helmet and the imagined aromas of the scratch-and-sniff menu. Her eyes will light up at the 'training wheels' for high-heeled shoes. Everyone will love the idea of reading the family pet's attitude with a handy mood collar.

The masters of design behind the Klutz Book of Inventions not only dreamed up each crazy contraption, but they also built and tested it for each action-packed photo. By the time they've marveled over the last amazing gizmo, your child will be ready for some invention-brainstorming brilliance of their own!
