Who Was Albert Einstein?

This was purchased for a very inquisitive 7 year old, and I must say, I have NEVER known him to literally devour any book so raptly. He read the entire book over the course of two days, even taking time during class to read it (with his teacher's OK!). This was my first experience with this series of books --- but it won't be my last. I can't speak for every kid -- but I think this series might be well worth at least TRYING for any child looking to learn about a particular person or even subject -- it will make a good lead-in.....

My son had to write about a scientist for a major reading project. This book was great & even has a time line in the back! That helped him complete one of the reading response requirments.

Jess Brallier did a terrific job presenting facts about Albert Einstein. The book included every single detail about Einstein's marvelous life. It will surely intrigue readers. For me reading about someone special like Einstein is a prize because you get to learn about someone's remarkable life and at the same time explore another world. Einstein's biography will inspire readers because of his lifelong lesson-to keep on learning and never give up! Albert Einstein is my role model. He was a hardworking and a kind person who donated so much to the world. I recommend this book to people who are interested in Albert Einstein and those who want to change the world! by Emily P. (soon to be in grade 4)

I thought Who Was Albert Einstein? was a great book. Hats off to Jess Brallier! I have read this book two or three times, which is rare for me, since I do not like to re-read things, so that must tell you how good this book is! I learned a lot of things like he was born on March 14, 1879, he had two wives, he wasn't the best father (in his own words), his brain is floating around in a jar today, 52 years after his death, and many more interesting things! You should read this book, and I would even recommend it to adults!!!

Great subject for a children book. I got this series of books for my daughter and she really enjoyes reading them. Great read and educational too.
