From keeping a good notebook to setting up a workshop, from building the prototype to applying for a patent, Steven Caney covers it all, even showing the young entrepreneur how to market an invention successfully.
To get the creativity flowing, here are also hundreds of fantasy ideas that still need to be invented: everything from a temperature-regulating straw to sunburn alarm tabs. There are also extensive plans for twenty projects kids can build from ordinary household items. And to demonstrate the many sources of creative thinking, Caney tells the stories behind 25 landmark American inventions. Selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club. Suitable for ages 8-13. 215,000 copies in print.

From the Back Cover
You can also rig up a Bubble Bath Bucket using a tin can, a shoelace, and a bar of soap. You can make a bookend for records that is a record, and a Bookshelf Safe for valuables that is a book. There's a hammock to fashion from nothing but tightly rolled newspapers and clothesline, and still more: fly catchers and back scratchers, minimum-maximum constructions, a Funnel String Dispenser, a Portable Bleacher Pillow. Steven Caney's Invention Book leads kids ages 10 and up directly into the world of creativity. Caney shows kids how to get started tinkering on their own. He tells the stories beind many products that are now household words and urges consideration of hundreds of invention possibilities, such as a Robot Referee or a Loose Tooth Puller-both of which remain in dire need of invention at this very moment. Illustrations and photographs throughout.
