4.0 out of 5 stars Informative and Quick, March 11, 2008
This review is from: Thomas Alva Edison (Rookie Biographies) (Paperback)
This is a children's biography about Thomas Edison that is written for the beginning reader with pictures on every other page but still contains some interesting facts. I was surprised to learn that he invented over 1,000 things and was home schooled. He never stopped trying new things--a good lesson for me. Quick read--only takes five minutes!

--Karen Arlettaz Zemek, author of "My Funny Dad, Harry"
