Kids Inventing!: A Handbook for Young Inventors Review: Great book - My nephew loves this book. He's ten and is an inventor in the making. He's also a very good reader for his age and the book was written in suitable language for a 10-12 year old. Review: Shows how to take that 1% inspiration and focus it with 99% perspiration - Kids Inventing! really helped my daughter out. She loves the Science Channel, the Discover Channel, and shows that Bust Myths (you know what I'm talking about!) She and I were always discussing how a lot of common day items - everything from brownies and puff pastry, to velcro and silly putty, were "accidents". We also talked about how inventors try to solve problems and often end up with different results than they expected. Still, until we had Kids Inventing! my daughter didn't really know what to do with her many ideas. This very supportive book showed her where to begin - how to brainstorm for ideas, to keep an idea notebook, to make drawings and prototypes, to ask questions, and rework the design. In short, how to bring an invention to life! The book is full of real-life examples of other kids who invented things, some very useful, and some just for fun. Some of the children ended up marketing and selling their products, and others decided not to. At the end of Kids Inventing!, there is information on everything from inventors' clubs, to how to get a patent and protect your idea (this alone is a reason to get the book, in my view), an inventor camp, and suggested reading. As a mom to a future NASA engineer, and inventor of...oh, sorry, I can't reveal that. It hasn't been patented yet! Anyway, I highly recommend this book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0471660868 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,407,906 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,303 in Science & Technology for Teens (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (30) | | Dimensions | 6.9 x 0.4 x 9.3 inches | | Edition | 1st | | Grade level | 1 - 12 | | ISBN-10 | 9780471660866 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0471660866 | | Item Weight | 9 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 144 pages | | Publication date | August 24, 2005 | | Publisher | Jossey-Bass | | Reading age | 6 - 17 years | ## Images ![Kids Inventing!: A Handbook for Young Inventors - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ITjAOAPcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book *by K***T on December 27, 2012* My nephew loves this book.

I was hoping for a book with ideas and inspiration to challenge him with something more substantial than construction paper and paper-towel tubes. I still haven't found that book. THIS book, however, will be GREAT when he turns 8 or 9 and is ready to look outward - trying to figure out what to do with his inventions, whether selling, patenting, refining, or simply looking for examples of inventors. The book is strong on the 'inventor' side and a little less so on the 'invention' side. Also probably a little weak on the illustration side for this day and age. The book could probably support twice as many images. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/13392488-kids-inventing-a-handbook-for-young-inventors](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/13392488-kids-inventing-a-handbook-for-young-inventors) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
