Great Biography

Odd Boy Out: Young Albert Einstein Great story for most children but especially for the child who deems himself out of sync with his classmates. Young Albert proves the point that we all have something to offer, faults in all.

Excellent book for "special kids"

Some very smart kids just don't fit in the classroom. They learn differently. This book assures those kids that they are not "weird", but just might need to learn lessons differently. Unfortunately, most state educational programs do NOT address these needs. Hopefully, these different-learning kids will learn to accept themselves rather than to succumb to any titles that may be assigned to them, ie, slow learner.

Odd boy out is one great book!

Odd boy out is a wonderful book with nice illustraions of the life of Albert Einstein. Albert was born a fat baby with a big head. He had a bad temper and was condsidered very odd. He didn't like to play sports, and he was disturbed with the things other boys liked. Einstein grows and soon becomes what we know as the famous scientist Einstein.
