This book was just read to me on utube. It was so annoying 🙄. But hey, maybe it was good to get the kids' attention, lol. #ISpyBingoAugust @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks

I have TONS of things to read, so of course I went browsing through Libby‘s art section for some reason 🤷🏻‍♀️ and found this children‘s biography on the man who invented crayons! It never even occurred to me to wonder who did that or why even though they‘re something that had a fundamental impact on most of our lives. Also, fittingly, stellar art!

I ate this one up. I was a little worried that it might not do well as an audiobook, but it actually worked out okay. It was a lovely, curated trip through some of the most influential inventors and she even highlights inventions patented by kids. This would be a fun STEM book to use with kids in a homeschool or co-op school setting. This would even be great for summer activities with kids. Even as an adult, I enjoyed this one tremendously.

GingerAntics I saw a lot of myself in Temple Grandin‘s discussion of building things from her imagination from whatever she could find as a kid. I did the same thing as a kid, so I think that little inventing, building inner child greatly enjoyed this book (which is probably why I inhaled it in less than 2 days). 1y

I really wanted to like this book, but alas, I just couldn‘t finish it. The author‘s writing was rather dry, and went into a lot of tangential philosophical writings. I gave up to read more interesting books.
