Reviews
""Innovations in Everyday Technologies by Larry Verstraete is my favorite in the series because I love gadgets and see loads of inspiration for inventors in ordinary innovations, such as 'selfie sticks'. What's the first invention portrayed? A dishwasher! Thank you Josephine Cochran, the inventor! Who can't appreciate a dishwasher?"

"The examples in each of the books in "The Problem Solved! Your Turn to Think Big" series will be engaging to students in Grades 3 6 and well beyond. The books are well-written and well illustrated. The real strength of the books is in the repeated message to students to think creatively and become problem solvers now... Highly Recommended."
