“[An] entertaining volume of trivia.” —Kirkus Reviews“Jones’s titles convey cohesive ideas about the importance of accidental discoveries.”–School Library Journal
“Readers learn that some dice were loaded in ancient Egypt; that baseball caps evolved from imitations of Civil War military hats; that flyswatters must have holes to be effective; that some inventions might have flopped without a push in the public-relations department. Such stories are well-suited to sharing.”–Kirkus ReviewsDon L. Wulffson is the author of more than forty books, including Point Blank, The Kid Who Invented the Popsicle, Future Fright, and The Upside-Down Ship. He lives in Northridge, California.US
