"[An] entertaining volume of trivia." --Kirkus Reviews Exploration & Discovery History Inventions & Inventors Science & Technology

Critic Reviews

"Jones's titles convey cohesive ideas about the importance of accidental discoveries."--School Library Journal

"Readers learn that some dice were loaded in ancient Egypt; that baseball caps evolved from imitations of Civil War military hats; that flyswatters must have holes to be effective; that some inventions might have flopped without a push in the public-relations department. Such stories are well-suited to sharing."--Kirkus Reviews
