Reach for this book when you notice your child doodling impossible inventions in the margins of their homework or asking why cars can't fly. It is the perfect antidote for a kid who feels like they have outgrown standard picture books about trucks but still possesses a deep, engine-revving curiosity about how the world moves. Through forty-five short entries, Michael Hearst explores the fringes of engineering history, from ostrich-drawn carriages to motorized suitcases. The tone is humorous and witty, turning what could be a dry list of facts into an inspiring gallery of human creativity and persistence. It is an ideal choice for parents of 8 to 12-year-olds who want to encourage a growth mindset by showing that the path to innovation is often paved with weird, wild, and sometimes unsuccessful ideas.
