- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book describes the life of Thomas Edison. This book includes his inventions as well as how he made life easier for many people. He invented machines that created power for people's homes, which helped people be more comfortable in their houses. The story also mentions part of his childhood. Thomas Edison was home-schooled because he did not do well at a school house. This story shows how much he has helped societies future. Edison created over 1,000 inventions that made life better for people.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book, for early readers, chronicles the life and accomplishments of American inventor Thomas Edison. I like this book for three reasons. First, the level of details incorporated are appropriate to the readers targeted. When discussing one of Edison’s greatest achievements, the text simply states that “he found a way to get power for heat and light into homes,” instead of discussing the complexities of alternating current relative to direct current. Another aspect of this book that I like is how each page discusses only one or two aspects of Edison’s life and accomplishments, accompanied by a photograph, which is captioned with the main idea of the page. One page tells how he did not invent the lightbulb, but instead made a better working model. The photograph on the opposing page shows Edison holding a large lightbulb with a caption that reads, “Thomas did not invent the lightbulb.” Finally, I like how Kesselring makes sure to incorporate some of Edison’s weaknesses, instead of only his strengths. A good example of this is when the book discusses the fact that he was home schooled by his mother because he had such a hard time learning in regular school.
