MY REVIEW

This book The Invention, has the most fabulous illustrations I have ever seen!

A caretakers daughter Fili is making an invention of her own, but doesn’t know what it will do, or how it will work. I absolutely love the idea that Fili sends everyone an invitation to come to her invention party.

About illustrator James Munro

He lives and works in a pile of pencil shavings and spilled ink in Liverpool. James’ ambition is to one day have a shed like Fili’s father.
