"Mister Umbrella Man and stories about inventions." An umbrella! Peanut butter! A vacuum cleaner! Who invented these familiar items? This book combines a collection of thirteen stories about inventions we all know. Some were invented by one inventor, others were the collaboration of several inventors and companies. "Chef Potato Chip" and "Doctor Peanut Butter" tell us who invented these delicious foods. "Balloons, Balloons" and "When Watches Were Eggs" are narrated stories about tools we still use told as if we were standing beside the inventors. Unfortunately, the inventor's name has probably been forgotten. Grades 3-4
