Isn't that a great title? I think we tend to think of one type of person when we hear the word "inventor" but the truth is there is a huge variety in inventors and this book celebrates that from the first page where you are encouraged to take a quiz to determine which type you are. This is an activity book. I worked through it with my eight year old boy-girl twins and they both loved the activities. Page after page encouraged them to brainstorm, think flexibly and problem solve. A great book for encouraging STEM at home.
