Description

Winner of the Laugh Out Loud Book Awards 2025 (nonfiction)Do you ever wonder where the stuff around you all came from? No, not from eBay. I mean, who had the amazing idea of making a mobile phone or the annoying idea of building a school? For example, did you know that Velcro was invented by a dog and WiFi by a movie star? (Spoiler alert it wasnt Zendaya.)In the fourth laughoutloud book from Adam Kay and Henry Paker, youll learn all about the coolest, grossest and most ridiculous inventions in the world. Youll meet the queen who used the first ever toilet, learn why margarine used to be full of maggots and find out why Ancient Greeks wiped their bums on dinner plates. Oh, and hopefully some slightly more useful facts as well...An A to Kay to Z of the random, ridiculous and revolutionary inventions that changed our lives. (And some that definitely didnt . . .)Praise for Kays AnatomyAn enjoyably gross look at the human body.
