Hooray for Inventors

In her trademark vivacious comic-book style, Marcia Williams honors the fine folks who brought us the printing press, the steam train, the electric light, the TV, and more. Interspersed are snapshots of more than one hundred other inventions, from toilet paper to sliced bread, to inspire the inventor in every young reader.

There's also a tribute to women inventors—the force behind such indispensable items as windshield wipers, submarine telescopes, and bulletproof vests.

Includes an index of inventors and an index of inventions.
