Customer Reviews

Excellent reference book
This book is great. It covers everything from how mobile phones work to scanners in shops. Very factual in a fun and cool way. My son loves it! It is also educating his parents!!

I would recommend this book to all children who are curious about how things around them work. It certainly answers a lot of questions I never knew the proper answers to!

How to Fascinate a Seven-Year-Old
Bought for my grandson's seventh birthday, this book has not yet reached his bookshelves as it is constantly in use. For any child with an enquiring mind and a fascination for finding out how things work, this is an excellent choice.
