Book Reviews of The Kids' Invention Book (Kids' Ventures)
Book Review: Amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
How can kids invent all these things any way? Oh my Gosh. One kid (Reeba) invented the all-in-one washer-dryer. How come they don't sell this? My mom wants to buy one. Another kid (Eric) invented what he called Dial-A-Fish. You call your phone number and enter a secret code and when you do that, the fish bowl will shake food into the bowl so the fish can eat. Angel and Kathryn invented a two-door mailbox so people won't get hurt when they get the mail. Josh invented a thrower device for people who want to play baseball but they don't have any hands. Suzanna invented an edible spoon for feeding your pets without having to clean the spoon. Elizabeth invented a Happy Hand. I couldn't figure out why it was so useful until I read the whole story. She was the youngest American female to receive a patent.
