WINNER OF THE BLUE PETER BOOK AWARDS 2022 An international
best-seller, translated into over 25 languages In this book you
will meet the animal inventors who have shared their super
inventing powers to make amazing things for humans. We have
invented ways of solving problems, making unbelievable materials,
ways of getting around and working out how to survive on our own
for millions of years. Often human scientists try and solve a
problem or invent a new tool and they realise that animals have
already invented it for them. Sometimes when a human inventor gets
stuck, they come to the animal kingdom to see if we can help them
out. In this book you will meet the creme de la creme of animal
innovators who have created or are in the process of inventing
things that people use every day. Meet the shark who invented a
pair of swimming shorts so fast, they were banned from the Olympic
games. And meet the snail who has invented a house that stays cool
inside even in the desert.

the first video game? Do you understand how the internet works and
why vaccines save lives? Are you aware that fossil fuels not only
power cars and planes, but are also used to generate the
electricity that powers almost everything else? Do you know about
alternative energy sources and how they work? Would you like to
