The Handiest Things in the World - Hardcover
by Andrew Clements (Author), Raquel Jaramillo (Illustrator)
The mother of invention is right at your fingertips Ten knuckles, two thumbs, two flat palms, and all those fingers--but our hands can be so much more.
They were once the first pair of earmuffs, a primitive sun visor, and a convenient set of chopsticks. The work done by hands centuries and centuries ago has paved the way for many of our favorite and most useful tools. The always clever Andrew Clements reminds us all that the mother of much invention is right at our fingertips.Andrew Clements (1949-2019) was the author of the enormously popular Frindle. More than 10 million copies of his books have been sold, and he was nominated for a multitude of state awards, including a Christopher Award and an Edgar Award.
