This build-it-yourself book from bestselling and Caldecott Honor artist Stephen T. Johnson that Newsweek called “Toy of the Year” is a book, a toy, and a robot that little ones can build!This book is more than a book—it’s a robot waiting to be made! The sturdy, ultra-thick cardboard pages contain all the necessary robot components as well as clear instructions for assembly. The flat pieces fit together with slots and tabs, which means there’s no glue and no mess—just a lot of robot fun! Budding engineers will enjoy this engaging book that encourages them to build and play. And, the pieces can back into the book, so the creation can be rebuilt time and again.

In 1794, Joseph Priestley - amateur scientist, ordained minister and radical thinker - set sail for America to escape persecution. Stephen Johnson tells his incredible story: the discovery of oxygen, the invention of a science, the founding of a church, and, with the great minds of his time, the development of the United States itself. But Priestley's revolutionary ideas put him in terrible danger. Johnson uses the progress of Priestley and his colleagues not merely to describe the wonder of discovery, but to show us how we have come to understand the world, how far we have travelled with the power of human enquiry - and how one man's curiosity can help build an entire country.
