The Story Behind Soap (True Stories) - Hardcover

I found this a fascinating series! I learnt a lot about some of the things we take for granted in everyday life and will value them more as a result of knowing what goes into their manufacture. In today's throw-away society, it is valuable for children to learn just how things get to us. What soap is; soap through history; how it is made and what the future holds. Packed with colourful illustrations and even instructions on how to make your own soap. Fascinating! --parentsintouch.co.uk website Nov 12
