What can a curious boy with a toolbox and a dream really do?

Meet Walter Owen Bentley-known as W.O.-the little boy who loved taking things apart just to see how they worked. From dismantling his bicycle at nine, to chasing his dream of trains, to racing motorbikes, and finally building one of the world's most legendary car brands, Walter's story is proof that big ideas often start small

The Little Engineer with Big Ideas: The Complete History for Kids is not just another history book. It's a thrilling, true-life adventure that mixes speed, courage, creativity, and determination into one unforgettable journey. Kids will discover how Bentley cars-synonymous with power and luxury today-began with a boy's relentless curiosity and unstoppable passion.

Inside this book, young readers will:

  • Travel through Walter Bentley's childhood in London and feel the spark that started it all.
  • Race alongside him in daring motorbike competitions (crashes included!).
  • Witness his breakthrough invention of aluminum pistons that changed engines forever.
  • Cheer on the Bentley Boys as they win Le Mans four years in a row.
  • See how setbacks like the Great Depression and fierce rivals couldn't crush his dream.
  • Celebrate Bentley's powerful comeback as one of the greatest car makers in history.
Packed with fun facts, inspiring lessons, and kid-friendly storytelling, this book shows children that failures can become steppingstones, and even the boldest dreams can come true.
