Not all our favourite stories are about princesses, dragons and lovestruck princes. What if the heroes were a rat, a sparrow and a handy frog? And what if those three didn’t set anyone free, get into any fights, or claim a reward of half a kingdom with a young princess thrown in? What if, quite simply, they built an aeroplane, a car, a house, a motorcycle and a railway? The amusing, highly popular story of the three friends of the ‘Technical Tales’ series proves that stories for children don’t have to wear a crown. With these books, young readers will laugh, enjoy Martin Sodomka’s delightful illustrations and learn all they need to know about how certain things are built.
