Product description
Bionics as an exciting non-fiction book for children aged 8+
Technology that we copied from nature
Many times have scientists tried to solve a problem or invent something new, only to find that clever animals invented it for them. 30 animals introduce themselves in this colorfully illustrated non-fiction book and show us what inventions they have brought to mankind through their spectacular properties. For millions of years, animals have always found new ways to create incredible materials, move about, or survive in dexterous ways. So sometimes, when human scientists get stuck, they turn to the animal kingdom for help and learn tricks from animals in bionics.
Regrowing teeth, sonar or glue: how the animal kingdom has inspired humans to come up with the greatest inventions
In this book we get to know the crème de la crème of animal inventors: we meet the shark, which was the model for a swimsuit that makes us so fast that it is banned at the Olympic Games. The termites invented houses that stay cool inside, even in the desert. We got help from the Eisvogel for the construction of trains that go much faster and are very quiet. We learned from the bees that a hexagon is the perfect shape. We find the eagle eye built into the smallest cameras. And the birds also showed us how to fly.
The animal engineers always have one thing ahead of us: Everything they invent is environmentally friendly and leaves no waste behind. But who knows? Perhaps we humans will one day adopt this knowledge from animals...

FAQ
How long will it really fit my child?
The pattern is designed to fit across four clothing sizes . Children wear it longer—comfortably up to the end of the specified size, often even beyond.
Why are delivery times longer?
Each sweater is manufactured in a resource-efficient manner after your order , either in our own Berlin workshop or by partners in Germany. Production therefore takes 12–18 business days.
Is there anything I need to pay attention to when washing?
Wash at 30°C (max. 40°C) without brightener, low spin speed. Gentle tumble drying recommended, then iron at medium temperature. Organic jersey may shrink up to 2 cm during drying.
Can I exchange an item if the size doesn't fit?
Yes – you have the legal right to exchange your order. We'll be happy to advise you in advance via email or Instagram if you're unsure. Returns are easy.
