Publisher's summary

"Makers of Many Things" by Eva March Tappan is a bright and timeless invitation to think about the things surrounding us.

Excerpt from the book: "When a child can look at a steel pen not simply as an article furnished by the city for his use, but rather as the result of many interesting processes, he has made a distinct growth in intelligence. When he has begun to apprehend the fruitfulness of the earth, and the best way in which its products may be utilized, he has not only acquired a knowledge of many kinds of industrial life, but he has learned the necessity of peaceful intercourse.

This book is planned to show the children that there is 'something more'; to broaden their horizon; to reveal to them what invention has accomplished and what wide room for invention still remains; to teach them that reward comes to the man who improves his output beyond the task of the moment; and that success is waiting, not for him who works because he must, but for him who works because he may."

Eva March Tappan (1854-1930) was a teacher and American author. She began her literary career writing about famous characters in history and developed an interest in writing children books.
