 | GREAT! Jan 7, 2010 |
| This book was really great--it's very similar to Reinvent the Wheel but has all new projects. You get the same good mix of history and hands-on science. My sisters and I had a lot of fun building the inventions! | | | Write your own review about Build a Better Mousetrap: Make Classic Inventions, Discover Your Problem Solving Genius, and Take the Inventor's Challenge
