Produktbeschreibung
The Art of Boiling Water is a fun and fanciful rhyming story for young, and not so young readers, and for those who enjoy being read to. It reveals how the benefits of making water hot was stumbled upon (literally) by an early occupant of the planet and how those benefits still survive to this day. The book's delightful illustrations support and reinforce the humour of the story, and a smile, chuckle or hearty laugh awaits the reader on every page. Mothers and grandmothers will enjoy reading this book to little ones as the story also tells how one woman, singlehandedly, changed the way millions see themselves each day (or, for some, every second or third day perhaps). If there ever was to be a children's pot-boiler, this would surely be it... and not just because of its title. Children will love the characters as much as the clever use of rhyme and perhaps be encouraged to enjoy writing rhyming stories themselves.
