The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library Oh, the Things They Invented!

The Cat in the Hat goes back in time to meet with the inventors of over dozen inventions that made a major impact on our lives today--from famous figures like Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, and the Wright Brothers to lesser-known ones like James Watt, Charles Babbage, and Tim Berners-Lee. Children will learn basic information about each invention, as well as fascinating facts like how Guttenberg's famous printing machine was made from an old wine press; how a steaming tea kettle may have inspired the invention of the steam engine; and how table salt changed the history of photography. Ideal for supporting the Common Core State Standards, and a natural for fans of the hit PBS Kids show The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That!, this is a great way to introduce beginning readers to science!
