About this listen

Accidents happen. Sometimes that’s a good thing.

Did you realize cheese puffs, Coca-Cola, Bubble Wrap, and the Post-it note were all invented by accident? This audiobook covers fascinating origin stories of 60 everyday items that were invented by accident; that is, the inventor did not expect to make the product when the product was discovered.

Not only will this audiobook share amazing stories about everyday products, but it will also inspire you. We all encounter things that go wrong, and this audiobook reminds us that when life gives lemons, we can make lemonade.

Each story is written to encourage kids and adults to be curious and be inspired to create.

In this audiobook, you will find out:

  • Did Coke started out as a painkiller?
  • What is the best thing since sliced bread?
  • Who invented the potato chip?
  • How did a sewing kit lead to a bright idea?
  • The invention of the internet
  • And more

Also, the audiobook reminds us that we are all inventors, inventing new recipes, new gadgets, and new literature, and it encourages us to share our inventions with those around us.

If you like to inspire your child to be creative or be curious, get this audiobook today!
