Book 17 of Kit's Little Sparks. By Chris Kuczynski.
It is show-and-tell day. Kit's invention is in Kit's backpack, wrapped in a small cloth. Kit is nervous. Sparks orbits steady and bright. When Kit's turn comes, Kit takes a breath, unwraps the thing, and says: this is what I made.
Public sharing is the hardest skill in the inventor's mindset. Adult inventors call it presentation. Children call it show and tell. The fear is identical: showing something you made to a room of people who might or might not understand. Kit shows your child that the showing matters, that the words matter, and that the room almost always responds with kindness.
Book 17 also teaches the small mechanics of presenting. Speaking up. Slowing down. Pointing at the parts. Answering questions. Each spread shows a different micro-skill. By the end, Kit has not only shown the invention, Kit has explained how it works, what inspired it, and what Kit might change next.
Illustrated in watercolor with the classroom audience visible on every spread. Sturdy board pages. Free read-along audio. Free educator guide with a show and tell script teachers can use to prep nervous children.
For parents whose child is about to do their first show-and-tell. For preschool teachers running show-and-tell. For families building confidence speaking to a small audience.
Written by Chris Kuczynski, an engineer for the first twelve years of his career, then a registered patent attorney, and a co-founder of a preschool. He wrote the Kit's Little Sparks series to give two to four year-olds the language of invention long before kindergarten.
Have a show and tell at dinner this week. Each family member shares something they made or noticed today. Book 18 is where Kit looks up at the night sky and realizes how big the world of ideas really is.
