At his home workshop, McGregor never knows when inspiration will hit: while surrounded by his cheery wife and children, singing a song, or painting a picture. "Just imagine how many more gadgets and gizmos you'll be able to think up with a clear head and no distractions," says the president of the Royal Society of Inventors, inviting him to work in the city. So why, in his new laboratory, is McGregor unable to think of a thing? Rich language that skips and jumps combined with lively, detailed art brings this delightful story home to young readers and their parents.
