Albert Einstein

This book is one of 24 "History Maker Bios" that do a very nice job of providing attractively packaged and well-written information to the grade school student. They are especially appealing for those second-through-fourth grade biography book reports that kids are always assigned in school. Also, it must be noted that the binding is particularly strong and well suited for library use. This volume on Albert Einstein is designed in a kid-friendly format, using lots of photos, illustrations, and good use of color and white space. The author presents an upbeat style and interesting anecdotes (Einstein refused to wear socks, even to visit President Roosevelt) to move along the possible difficulties a child would have with the scientific explanations of Einstein's theories. Recommended for ages 7-10. Reviewed by Lisa Silverman
