Overview
CDs start out as sand. Blackboard chalk comes from tiny sea creatures. The objects all around us -- every single product in the world -- is made from elements found in nature. Discover how nature is transformed into more than 60 things we eat, drink, play with, wear or use every day. Technology changes constantly, but the stages raw materials go through to become finished objects remain much the same. On every page of this big book, these processes are described and illustrated step by step. The text and artwork combine playfulness with encyclopaedic attention to detail. This unique and fascinating book will inform and entertain every step of the way. Includes a glossary, index and further resources to help children, parents and teachers. Ages 8-12 AUTHOR: Bill Slavin was born February 12, 1959, in Belleville, Ontario, the seventh of eight children. He illustrated his first book, The Adventures of Zok the Caveman, when he was seven. It was published in an edition of one. He has been writing and illustrating ever since. He has illustrated over sixty children's books, fiction and non-fiction, including Stanley's Party by Linda Bailey, winner of the 2004 Blue Spruce Award, the B.C. Book Prize Christie Harris Illustrated Book Award and the Canadian Librarian Association's Amelia Frances Howard Gibbon Illustrator's Medal. Colour illustrations
