The Great Stink, non-fiction, illustrated book STEM that kids want to read

Joseph Bazalgette we salute you. Actually, everyone in London salutes you in their own special way. Bazalgette had an idea in the late 1840s; and while his idea wasn’t a new one in the greater global perspective, it was one that would forever change the capital of England. His job was to map London’s sewers, but this wasn’t the job that the short employee pulled. As an engineer, this was a challenge that he lived for and was one that had life and death results. The Great Stink is the illustrated book of this story that those young readers won’t be able to resist.

Good Guys, Bad Guys, it’s classic or dated-depending on your view

This is the soul of an active, imagination based play kid who is four through seven years old. Our eight year-old is still firmly in this camp where imagination is his leading currency and he spends it all of the time. Good Guys, Bad Guys is an illustrated book that speaks this language. One day a kid can be on the good side, other days they’re on the bad side and teams of who is good or bad can switch all the time. If you’re a fan of ‘come home when the street lights come on’ style books then Good Guys, Bad Guys will be just your sort of all-skate, slightly old school, pretend play, good-night book.

An old soul book about pretend play and switching sides as the street lights come on
