Did you know that there's seaweed in ice cream, cork in spacecraft and dandelion in truck tyres? Have you wondered how paper or thread are made, or why the mandrake is so mysterious? Meticulously researched and beautifully illustrated, this book of wonder gives a young reader the knowledge of how the things we use every day are born from natural materials, and the surprising stories behind their creation. Featuring 30 plants, discover how: - Dandelions are used to make tyres - Coconut and cork are used in spacecraft - Papyrus, and now pines, make paper - Cacao becomes chocolate - Cotton is spun into shirts... and banknotes - Bamboo helps people as well as pandas ...and much more!
