In \u003ci\u003eInnovators: The Stories Behind the People Who Shaped the World\u003c\/i\u003e, readers ages 9 to 12 learn about many inventions, products, processes, and improvements people have made to create the reality in which we live. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor example, in 1938, Ruth Wakefield added bits of chocolate to her cookies and invented Toll House chocolate chip cookies.
