Or who made the first roller skates? Or why there are piggy banks rather than doggy banks? Imaginative Inventions answers all of these questions and tells the fascinating stories behind these, as well as potato chips, eyeglasses, doughnuts, high-heeled shoes, the wheelbarrow, marbles, the vacuum cleaner, animal crackers, and more. Written in verse and with illustrations full of offbeat characters and quirky details, this book invites young readers inside the minds of great inventors and encourages them to think imaginatively.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charise Mericle Harper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0316347256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316347259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little, Brown Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.17h x 8.97w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e62002 \/ Imaginative Inventions: The Who, What, Where, When, and Why of Roller Skates, Potato Chips, Marbles,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2001 pg. 1123\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/20\/2001 pg. 79\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2001 pg. 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2001 pg. 734\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2001 pg. 154 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2002 pg. 154 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw","brand":"Charise Mericle Harper","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44044769886463,"sku":"9780316347259","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8989245e-e953-46fa-89a1-66f7907ada86.jpg?v=1684974785","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/imaginative-inventions-charise-mericle-harper-9780316347259","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
