(4) 4-6 Illustrated by David Cousens. This volume emphasizes two elements of invention: humankind's drive to create in order to make life easier or more pleasurable and inventors' tendency to stand on the shoulders of preceding innovators to expand ideas. This chronological overview of ten inventors, famous and obscure, may inspire readers, but it lacks sources for further study. Comic-style illustrations are eye-catching but crowd the pages.
