From Booklist
Gr. 2-4. It's hard to believe that a life and work as complicated as Einstein's could be distilled to a Ready-to-Read chapter book, but Lakin does a fine job of highlighting the important moments, with equal focus on Einstein's early life and later successes. His three major discoveries--photons, e = mc2, and the general theory of relativity--are each given a crisp, one-page treatment that will work well for the target age group as well as older readers. The attractive watercolors seem to have been copied from familiar photographs. Although many are portraits, they move the text along. Some things, especially Einstein's relationship to the atom bomb, are lightly covered, but this is a well-rounded entry in the Stories of Famous Americans series, bolstered by a glossary, a bibliography, a time line, and several Web sites.

Great easy to read biography,
By
This review is from: Albert Einstein: Genius of the Twentieth Century (Ready-to-read Stories of Famous Americans) (Paperback)
For kids who are not quite sure biographies are cool, this will lead them into Einstein's life with ease. Reading level is about third-grade, illustrations are great (I love one with him sticking out his tongue), glossary, bibliography, timeline, website referrals at the back will help kids who are doing research. Part of a series that also includes Wright Brothers, Teddy Roosevelt, other intriguing characters. History IS biography and this is a good way to get kids interested in both.
