Flik finds that his inventions aren't nearly as exciting to anyone else as they are to him. Thorny, more than anyone, is getting fed up with Flik's useless inventions. Under pressure from Thorny to join the other ants collecting food, Flik finds a way to have the best of both worlds, combining two inventions into one harvesting machine and saving countless hours.

Flik the Inventor (A Bug's Life, Book 1),
By
This review is from: Flik the Inventor (A Bug's Life, Vol. 1) (Hardcover)
ISBN 1579730175 - Printed in the United States. No age range specified. Pictorial hardcover without dustjacket, 45 pages. Published by Advance Publishers in 1998. Part of the 12-book Disney Pixar A Bug's Life series. By Victoria Saxon, illustrated by Adrienne Brown and Andrew Phillipson, cover design by Deborah Boone.
Flik invents a pick-up-and-mover machine which works just fine - but serves no useful purpose. He then invents a stalk chopper, which works - and also serves no useful purpose. Meanwhile, Dot reminds Flik that Thorny's been after him to get to work gathering food. Glum, Flik heads to his room and suddenly realizes that there's a way to put the two machines together and save a lot of time. His success makes him very happy. This is an oversized hardcover with standard paper pages. That makes it a poor choice for toting around, but it's a fantastic choice for the bookshelf at home. This is a set that I'd love to complete one day. The bugs are uber-cute and people who haven't seen the movie will enjoy them as much as fans. In Flik's "try, try again" approach to the world, there's a great message for kids and, coming from a blue ant, it's more apt to be taken to heart than any sermon from Mom. The text is fun, flowing and easy enough for beginning readers and the illustrations... well, we ARE talking about Disney and Pixar... of course they're awesome! - AnnaLovesBooks
