""Who said ordinariness is boring? This book shows ordinary things, along with their origins and inventors, in a new light. Come explore their secrets!"" ―YA Books Central ""The text by Štěpánka Sekaninová is conversational and fun to read. The illustrations by Eva Chupíková are lush and beautifully rendered. Youngsters should realize this is not a reference book, but it is still some fun reading."" ―Seattle Book Review ""The perfect little book to answer the most asked question: ""Why?"" This encyclopedia has answers to a bunch of questions related to objects in our everyday life, such as beds, shoes, toilets, toothbrushes, toys, umbrellas, and so many more. The illustrations are fun and engaging. Amusing little facts are sprinkled all over the encyclopedia making it fun to read and understand."" ―Diana Livesay, Reviewer ""Who said that ordinariness must be boring? This book shows ordinary things in a new light! Even shoes, perfume, or toilets have their origin, evolution and an inventor! Explore their secrets! Just the sort of thing I would have absolutely loved when I was a curious, knowledge seeking child. Beautiful pictures. Would make a wonderful holiday gift."" ―Tammy B., Reviewer ""I'm impressed with the scope and depth of this book. These are not quick overviews. Every aspect of an ordinary thing is examined."" ―Martha D., Reviewer
