This DK children's book aged 11-14 is brimming with exciting,
educational activities and projects that focus on electronics and
technology.
Keep your siblings out of your room with a brilliant bedroom alarm,
power a propellor motorboat, make a stereo from pipes, build your own
AM radio, and construct a night light by following step-by-step
instructions and using affordable equipment. Inventor Lab will engage
budding scientists and engineers as they experiment, invent, trial, and
test technology, electronics, and mechanics at home.
Simple steps with clear photographs take readers through the stages of
each low-cost project, with fact-filled "How it works" panels to
explain the science behind each one, and to fascinate them with
real-world examples.
With an increasing focus across school curricula on encouraging
children to enjoy and explore STEM subjects (science, technology,
engineering, and maths), Inventor Lab is the perfect companion for any
inquisitive child with an interest in how the worlds of science
experiments and technology work, and why.
In The Cosmic Carrot, a young boy, Mitch, gets back on track to
vibrant health and clear vision with the help of friends and a
dedicated eye doctor. Robert Grand's debut picture book combines
its engaging narrative with rhyming verses and beautiful ink and
water color illustrations. Parents appreciate their children
learning powerful life lessons about resilience as Mitch conquers
his need for thick glasses with orthokeratology, a non-surgical
procedure to improve his vision recommended by his eye doctor. In
addition, Mitch learns about the power of organic fruits and
vegetables to calm his allergic sensitivities, which fosters
awareness of the benefits of good eating habits and clear distance
vision in young readers.
Let the dice decide the fate of your drawings, doodles and stories in this fun fill-in book.

With quirky illustrations by Sophie Foster, there are hundreds of outcomes and the possibilities are almost endless.
Cut-out dice are included at the back of the book.
This book introduces readers to the history and culture associated
