Beetles for Breakfast- Madeleine Finlay [HARDBACK]

We all know the effects that climate change and global warming are having on our planet - but what about the strange, and often bizarre ways scientists are working to find practical and imaginative answers to these big problems? Following a day in the life of a child, we see how these inventions could fit into everyday life, from brushing your teeth with biodegradable algae, to eating beetle burgers for lunch and coming home to do your homework with a pen containing ink made from exhaust fumes. With a mixture of infographic-style artwork and topical, funny and expertly researched facts, children will love seeing familiar scenes with a futuristic twist, teaching them all about the cool, exciting and sometimes quite strange inventions that could be common in the not-so-distant future.
