Book Reviews of The Picture History of Great Inventors
Book Review: Great book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a great introduction to inventors for my 5-year-old. It has great illustrations that he enjoys. Also, the text is not too complex for a 5-year-old.For an older child, you would probably want something with more detailed text.
