How to Do (Almost) Everything - by Becky Baines (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

With this book by their side, every curious child will gain a dazzling range of skills for real-life adventures, including: how to read a map; how to bake a cake; how to star-spot (without a telescope); how to solve a Rubik's cube; how to pack a suitcase; how to tie knots; how to calculate Pi; how to meditate; how to do a magic trick; how to use Morse code; how to find your way out of a maze; how to give a compliment; how to teach your dog a trick - and much more!

Every skill comes with the seal of approval from top experts, and their stellar tips are threaded throughout the book, too. For example, an aircraft designer offers tips on making the ultimate paper plane; a lunar scientist points out what to spot on the Moon; a chemical engineer shares insights about making slime; and an eight-times world memory champion reveals how to remember (almost) anything.

Lavishly illustrated by step-by-step diagrams, exuberant illustrations and stunning photography, this book offers the skills every child needs to make the most out of every day.
