- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Thomas Edison and the Lightbulb, by Scott R. Welvaert, in an excellent biography for 3rd-5th graders wanting to explore the amazing inventor. With the popularity of graphic novels, the biography is sure to be a hit for this age group. Welvaert is able to take the technical and scientific aspects that went into Edison’s discovery and make them interesting and easier to follow than by just presenting them as a bunch of uninteresting facts. Edison and the other characters’ dialogue help break up the aforementioned and keeps readers engaged. The author communicates Edison’s struggles and triumphs, complete with the suspense of a competing inventor and the merger of the two. Welvaert also includes a table of contents breaking up the story of the invention into four sections. A the end of the story there are more facts about Thomas Edison, a glossary of terms, a list of Internet sites and books that can provide additional information, a bibliography, and an index.
