Description
With sidebars, graphics, fun facts, and more, the history of rubber reveals plenty of fascinating secrets and surprises. Elementary school readers will discover that early balls didn't bounce; that people in the rainforest made waterproof gear from rubber thousands of years before Europeans got into the act; and that sneakers, bicycles, and cars created demand for more and more rubber!
Back matter includes a time line and a bit about the complicated implications of harvesting rubber.

This children's book certainly has bounce! For the truly scientifically-minded child, I believe this book will be fascinating and for the children who like things that bounce, they will be entertained and likely learn several new and interesting things they didn't know before about rubber, raincoats, balls and more. Household names such as Macintosh, Goodyear, and Hancock will be more than about apples, car tires and signatures. Accompanying illustrations help to bring the words alive in compelling educational manner. Indeed, I believe readers of all ages will be able to find satisfaction with what this book has to offer.
