5.0 out of 5 stars
THIS LOOKS BORING ,BUT ITS NOT !,
By "elainaxyz" (bristow, oklahoma United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thomas Edison: The Great American Inventor (Solutions) (Paperback)
THIS BOOK SHOULD NOT BE JUDGED BY IT'S COVER ! THIS IS A BIOGRAPHY OF MR. EDISON FROM BOYHOOD.I DID NOT KNOW THAT HE WAS HOMESCHOOLED AND THAT HE WAS DEAF. VERY GOOD READ. I DO NOT KNOW HOW HIS WIFE PUT UP WITH HIS WORK HOURS. COVER ILLUSTRATION IS MISLEADING. GOOD FOR BOYS AND GIRLS OF ANY AGE.
