Sally Oddi at Cover to Cover shared this new, fun Nonfiction book with me-
Baffling & Bizarre Inventions![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_veChHJ9As9blB1BmqlhsykhqUePm2VEnmck5WKatzAgjozZr3it3iCMGGSpFbusDTk3xxSpXW7qDx0InkVT5BZzndGVNZS50rxl_c4mXK4Q64ZaAiRuQ1EKv-wj2kThRed4Utm_YV_=s0-d)
by Jim Murphy. This book is fun and one that can be revisited over and over. The book is in a multiple-choice/quiz format. Each page gives the reader an illustration of a bizarre invention, a little piece of information and 4 choices of what the invention is. When you turn the page, you see the correct answer, along with a few paragraphs about the information. This may include the reason for the invention, info on how the invention worked,
The title definitely fits this book. Every time I sit down with it, I open to a random page and am amazed at the invention shared.
This is a fun book and kids will have fun reading it alone or with friends. It would also make a great short read aloud for classrooms. During those 5 minute times between activities or when lining up for lunch, kids will love making a guess and learning about one of these inventions. It won't take much to get kids hooked on this book
We are enjoying this book--Thank you for reviewing it! My daughter thought up her own invention for others to guess. Picture here: http://stepsandstaircases.tumblr.com/post/32018686990/cultivating-imagination-thinking-up-a-new
