Do you ever wonder where some of today’s most brilliant inventions come from? In this book, you will learn about the most exciting ones, and maybe you can come up with one too! 

Our world is filled with the most wonderful tools and machines. This is, of course, thanks to clever inventors! The first television was concocted with simple tea boxes and biscuit tins. The first airplane was the product of bicycle makers. The first submarine had oars. And Leonardo da Vinci described his many inventions in mirrored writing. Why? You’ll discover these things and more in this informative book.

A fascinating book filled with fun facts about great inventions and their brilliant inventors. For bright minds ages 5 years and up.

Mack (1960, the Netherlands) is a graphic designer and illustrator from The Netherlands. He was educated at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. During his education he made funny and educational cartoons about, among others, penguins and whales. These cartoons were later bought by the ‘Diergaarde Blijdorp’-zoo in Rotterdam. By now Mack is a regular illustrator at this animal park and he is the author of several children’s books, in which animals often are the lead characters.

Mack has a primitive way of drawing. He gets inspired by African art and the paintings of the Australian aboriginals. Both create an immense power by simplifying shapes. Mack wants to combine that powerful simplification with a subtle sense of humour.
