Albert Einstein (Getting to Know the World's Greatest Inventors & Scientists) Paperback – March 1, 2009

I read the first Mike Venezia book when I was a child myself. I never stopped. They are all beautifully made, with the right mix of truthful information and much needed fun.Albert Einstein is great. It explains a lot about the life of this great scientist, without going into details that would be inappropriate for younger kids, and without delving into the theories. When I was younger, I read Uncle Albert books and they explained the theories, but they were intended to much older children.THis book is perfect for kindergarteners up to third graders. Older children won't like it because of the childish big type, but it would be good fro them too.

The books in this series are all great! If you try to research many of the inventors and scientists in the series based on articles on the internet, you'll find that they are frequently written on a level well above what an elementary school student can understand. This is particularly true of Luis Alvarez. These books are well-written, include fun illustrations, pictures, and cartoons, and are easy to understand for children. I would say they are on a 3rd-5th grade level, and they are about the right length to cover the basics without becoming tiresome for kids. Well done!

Got for my 10yr old who likes biographies. Written to relate on kids level with lots of factual information. He really enjoys it.

Great series for kids to introduce them to scientists and famous folks. My 7 yr old loved it

thanks!
