How We Make Stuff {Tuesday's Treasures}

It's been a busy week and this blog is looking a little neglected.  One positive is I found this amazing book at our local library.  It's called How We Make Stuff - The Story Behind our Everyday Things.

• Format:  Hardback
• Number of Pages:18 pages
• ISBN 10: 1848777213
• ISBN 13: 9781848777217
• Author Christiane Dorian,
• IllustratorBeverley Yong

This book is the winner of The English Association 2013 Prize for Non Fiction 7-11 years and it's easy to see why. It is amazing I am so impressed with it.  It is twaddle free and choc full of information. It's a pop up book with tabs to pull and learn and lots of lift up flaps and booklets. Each double page spread answers a question about the way we use the earths natural resources to make things.

It answers the following questions

1. Who invented Factories ?
2. Where do Burgers come from ?
3. Does Chocolate grow on trees ?
4. Where do clothes come from ?
5. How do we turn trees into paper ?
6. What are rubber ducks made of ?
7. What is the link between gorillas and mobile phones ?
8. What does disposable mean ?
9. What can we learn from other creatures ?

Definitely add this one to your bookshelves your children will spend hours and hours looking through it and learning all sorts of wonderful things.

Blessings
