Kays Incredible Inventions: A fascinating and fantastically funny guide to inventions that changed the world (and some that definitely didn''t)

English

By (author): Adam Kay

Illustrated by: Henry Paker

Do you ever wonder where the stuff around you all came from? No, not from eBay. I mean, who had the amazing idea of making a mobile phone or the annoying idea of building a school? For example, did you know that Velcro was invented by a dog and WiFi by a movie star? (Spoiler alert - it wasnt Zendaya.)

In the fourth laugh-out-loud book from Adam Kay and Henry Paker, youll learn all about the coolest, grossest and most ridiculous inventions in the world. Youll meet the queen who used the first ever toilet, learn why margarine used to be full of maggots and find out why Ancient Greeks wiped their bums on dinner plates. Oh, and hopefully some slightly more useful facts as well

An A to Kay to Z of the random, ridiculous and revolutionary inventions that changed our lives. (And some that definitely didn't . . .)


Praise for Kay's Anatomy:
'An enjoyably gross look at the human body. Hours of gruesome fun guaranteed' i
'Like listening to a teacher who makes pupils fall about' Sunday Times
'Totally brilliant!' Jacqueline Wilson
'Fun and informative' Malorie Blackman

Praise for Kay's Marvellous Medicine:

'Educational and entertaining. It should be on the national curriculum!' Harry Hill
'Completely marvellous and very funny' BookTrust
