Humorous History
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
A light-hearted picture book biography of inventor John Ericsson, who, when he wasn't busy succeeding, was busy failing...gloriously. The comic-style illustrations add to the humorous effect. The book is listed as written for 2nd to 4th graders, but I suspect that 2nd graders would be less interested in the subject matter than 4th - or even 5th graders would be. A perfect choice for a reluctant reader in the upper grades because of the illustrations and the real history portrayed in an entertaining manner.
