Very Interesting Book

Honestly, this book was such a fun surprise. My kid usually zones out with anything educational, but this one actually kept him hooked! He started asking questions about robots and space after just one chapter. Super cool way to sneak in learning without a screen—big win for us.

A Fun Way to Learn Cool Stuff

One rainy Saturday I was stuck inside with my little cousins and we found this book. It turned into a whole afternoon of wow moments. Each fact is short and easy to read but still packed with really cool information that even kept the adults interested. It felt a lot more exciting than just scrolling through videos. Some of the topics were so strange and surprising that we ended up looking up more details together. I do think a few sections could have had pictures to make it even better but it was still a blast.

Explore Technology Without the Screens

I think many parents would like kids to spark curiosity without relying on flashy videos or endless screen time. This audiobook is just the right choice. It has fascinating facts about inventions, historical moments, and even future tech like AI and robotics. Everything is explained in a way that’s super easy to follow and fun to listen to.

The audiobook also connects technology to real life, showing how everyday things came to be and why they matter. It also highlights inventors from all kinds of backgrounds, which adds a nice touch of inspiration for kids and parents. The DIY projects are a cool bonus, offering a hands-on way to learn and explore at home. Plus, the storytelling around space exploration and cultural shifts is interesting as well.

Overall, it’s a smart, light-hearted listen that makes STEM subjects feel approachable and relevant, not dry or overwhelming. It’s a solid pick for anyone looking to make learning about science and technology more fun, interesting, and actually meaningful, without needing another app or screen.

My Kid Finally Unplugged!

After battling screen addiction with my 10-year-old son, this book was our breakthrough. We've been reading one wonder each night before bed for two weeks, and he actually reminds ME when it's time! The section on space technology sparked his first interest in astronomy - we even bought a telescope last weekend. I love how the facts are presented with just enough detail to fascinate without overwhelming. The DIY project suggestions are genius - we built the simple robot arm together and spent hours experimenting. Finally found something that competes with video games for his attention!

A Total Hit with the Whole Family!

I grabbed this book to sneak some learning into screen-free time, and it totally worked. My kids couldn’t stop reading the crazy-cool facts out loud, and honestly, I was just as hooked. From weird tech inventions to surprising moments in history, it covers so much without being boring. It’s become our go-to for car rides and bedtime chats. If you’ve got curious kids (or you're one yourself), this book is a fun little treasure trove.

Perfect book for quality time together

This book is filled with cute stories about science, technology, and the people who have used it to better mankind.

It is written so people of any age can understand and enjoy it.

It covers so many interesting inventions and shows how to make do-it-yourself projects. This hands-on approach builds memories of fun and exciting times between children and their parents and grandparents.

Every chapter starts a new subject with enthusiasm to learn and teaches the kids that they can learn from this book. It is quite a conversation starter.

I enjoyed this book and will share the audiobook with all my grandchildren. It is well worth the price!

Perfect for curious minds (and screen breaks)

I picked this up for my son, but honestly, we both ended up hooked. Each tech wonder is explained in a way that's exciting and easy to understand without dumbing it down. It sparked so many "how does that work?" conversations at home, and it was nice to see him excited about something other than video games. If you’re looking for something fun, educational, and totally conversation-starting, this is a great choice.

Got my kid off the tablet

I wanted something fun and smart for my daughter that didn’t involve a screen. This book actually worked. She started asking questions about how robots work and even tried one of the little projects in it. It made her think in new ways, and I could tell she was really into it. She even brought up stuff she learned when we were talking at dinner. It’s been cool to see her excited about learning again.
