Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

What a great narrator!
The first thing that stood out to me in this book was the narrator. Great voice and was able to alter it accordingly. This book was also really great because of everything there is to learn. I listened to a good bit of it myself (I'm in my 40's) and I can say that I certainly learned how many things were invented - and by accident. It's a good lesson for kids. Sky is the limit - they may make the next "accidental invention". Highly recommended!

Who knew?
This book blew my mind with stories about how some of the coolest things were made by accident! It’s packed with fun facts that made me see everyday stuff in a whole new light. I learned about things I use every day but never thought about where they came from or how they were invented. Each story is like a mini-adventure, making me think, "Wow, mistakes can turn into something awesome!" It's not just for kids; anyone would find these tales super interesting. Reading it made me feel like maybe I could invent something amazing one day, too, even if by accident. It’s inspiring, exciting, and a reminder that sometimes, the best discoveries come from the unexpected.

When "Oops!" is Awesome!
Accidental Inventions That Changed Our World is one of the most engaging, entertaining, and educational audiobooks I've ever heard. Fascinating facts and history, and the narrator brings it to life so perfectly, making the topic even more fun than it already would be.
Accidental Inventions in the Kitchen was my favorite chapter, since so many of the inventions featured are items I use on a daily basis. My grandmother loved the Corningware story when I shared it with her, as this was something she remembers being very impressed and pleased when it became available. Just goes to show that adults of all ages, as well as kids, will love this listen!
