Review by: tucker (Karl)
Dated: 4th of February, 2008
I wasn't sure what to expect from this book... and yet, even so, I was surprised at what it contains. Not blueprints for modifying mechanical household appliances, no circuit diagrams for rewiring autonomous vacuum cleaners, no design specs for converting a car with an onboard computer into a cut-down KITT... what I did find was a whole pile of little informational anecdotes and a swarm of... sorry to say... drivel.
Overall, a humourous book for science geeks... that's about it. The highlight: the artwork. My personal fave has to be the septopoids.

"Whatever will become of me?"
sighed the sad and lonely little tree.
A single tree is left standing alone looking out to sea on a cliff edge where a forest once grew. Native birds gather, promising to cheer her up - they will make her their Christmas tree! With decorations of clematis blossoms, a spider's silvery threads, feathers, berries and shells, the tree stands glowing, a beautiful sight on a Christmas night.
Terri Rose Baynton's whimsical watercolour illustrations capture the magic of this natural landscape.
