{"product_id":"marvelous-mattie","title":"Marvelous Mattie","description":"With her sketchbook labeled My Inventions and her father's toolbox, Mattie could make almost anything – toys, sleds, and a foot warmer. When she was just twelve years old, Mattie designed a metal guard to prevent shuttles from shooting off textile looms and injuring workers. As an adult, Mattie invented the machine that makes the square-bottom paper bags we still use today. However, in court, a man claimed the invention was his, stating that she \"could not possibly understand the mechanical complexities.\" Marvelous Mattie proved him wrong, and over the course of her life earned the title of \"the Lady Edison.\"\n\nWith charming pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations, this introduction to one of the most prolific female inventors will leave readers inspired.\n\nMarvelous Mattie is a 2007 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0374348103\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0374348103.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:McCully, Emily Arnold\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Pages are clean with no markings.
