With this fantastic book from world-renowned inventor and advocate for autistic folks Temple Grandin, teach your child how to think like an inventor. Has your child ever wondered how things work?

This book will let them harness that creative impulse and begin thinking about the world in a new way. Diving into the science behind various inventions, and the process of improving upon them over the ages, Grandin offers a fascinating look at that human impulse to build new things, and to design our environment to best suit our needs. A great gift for the creative and inventive children in your life.
