Everyone likes reading children's books. Kids like the stories inside, the illustrations that accompany them, and the fun of sitting down to read with mom and dad. Adults like the stories (let's admit it), the illustrations, the fun of sitting down to read with their kids, and the memory of enjoying those same magical moments with their own parents.

At the Science Museum, we chose to go beyond the stories themselves and the pleasure of reading them. We were interested in something else as well as some basic questions about science and technology that we encounter in every corner of our lives - even in our favorite children's books.
