A Fine Biography,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Time For Kids: Thomas Edison: A Brilliant Inventor (Hardcover)
This interesting biography with excellent illustrations and primary source photographs provides facts and fun! An excellent index and table of contents provides easy navigation. The chapters are well-written, beginning with a interest-grabbing first chapter describing Edison's introduction of the electric lights to the public. Historical events and settings build a broad understanding of the lives and times of inventors and builders who paved the way for modern times.

Great biography,

This review is from: Time For Kids: Thomas Edison: A Brilliant Inventor (Paperback)
I read this to my six year old son who loved it. There are funny stories from Edison's youth, a chart that shows Morse code and lots of other interesting tidbits.

This review is from: Time For Kids: Thomas Edison: A Brilliant Inventor (Paperback)
I am very impressed with the "Time For Kids" series. I like how they bring biographical and non-fiction information to young children at a level that is appropriate for them to understand. The photos are great and they cover a wide variety of topics. I bought quite a number of them for my classroom.
