Description Share Post How to Make Diamonds from Your Pencils Plus other bonkers dilemmas that can be solved with Science and a bunch of Chemistry Experiments Swapna Haddow, illustrated by Jess Bradley (Red Shed) What about solutions for some of the problems you have- really? Problems such as red cabbage being on the school dining menu each week? Then again, what about winning the science fair? Furthermore, what about a fireworks’ night without fireworks? What can be done to solve that occasion? All manner of problems and solutions are covered within How to Make Diamonds from Your Pencils. Swapna Haddow offers advice to solving these problems through examining all the evidence. Therefore, let’s suppose your problem is ‘how to survive at sea as a new pirate’. It seems that this is Granny’s new position, specifically being a marine monster spotter alongside chief cook. However, how can you serve up the Captain’s salted chips with his fish when there is no salt aboard the ship. What is Granny to do to avoid being thrown overboard? It seems she’ll need a distraction while salt crystals form from boiling and evaporating sea water, but she has a chance! Not only are the situations relatable, and imaginative, but fun, while the solutions are accessible. Then again, Jess Bradley‘s illustrations are delightful! Like Mr Shaha’s Recipes for Wonder, for example, How to Make Diamonds from Your Pencils is a treat. We suggest it will inspire many investigations!
