Overview

It is hard for kids to imagine that everything they see and use was once invented by someone. From computer games to ball point pens, Teddy bears to drinking straws, I Wonder Why Zippers Have Teeth clues kids into the behind-the-scenes people and stories behind many objects they use every day. The question and answer format is great for further discussion, the entertaining pictures keep the pages turning. It will change the way readers think about the things they use, and hopefully inspire a few to dream up some new ones!

Editorials

Children's Literature - Patricia Williamson

One of many in the "I Wonder Why..." series by Kingfisher Publishers that bring a new reader into the nonfiction world. This book takes a reader through the world of inventions. In addition to informing us of some very interesting inventions they begin the book with what an invention is, or is not. The book has a table of contents with a question for each section and the graphics help to illustrate the text. The questions that start each chapter are meant to engage the reader and make them curious about the invention or topic. Do you know if horses can mow a lawn or if you can fit 1500 books in your pocket? Are you curious why zippers have teeth? All of these and much more will be discovered in this book. Every section is short and informative with fast facts associated in textboxes around the information. Reviewer: Patricia Williamson
