Informative and Quick

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"
