Book Reviews of Who Was Thomas Alva Edison? (Who Was...?)
Book Review: My 8 y.o. son wants more !
Summary: 5 Stars
I have an 8 y.o. son who is very inquisitive, but getting him to read voluntarily on his own is somewhat of a chore. I got him this book for Christmas, and he read it on his own,not wanting to put it down in the morning, before his carpool arrived.
After he finished the book, he asked,"Mom, can we get the one about John F. Kennedy?"
Enough said.
Summary of Who Was Thomas Alva Edison? (Who Was...?)
One day in 1882, Thomas Edison flipped a switch that lit up lower Manhattan with incandescent light and changed the way people live ever after. The electric light bulb was only one of thousands of Edison?s inventions, which include the phonograph and the kinetoscope, an early precursor to the movie camera. As a boy, observing a robin catch a worm and then take flight, he fed a playmate a mixture of worms and water to see if she could fly! Here?s an accessible, appealing biography with 100 black-and-white illustrations.General Books
