## Description

Thomas Edison was born in 1847, in a time without phonographs, moving pictures, or reliable electric light bulbs…because he hadn’t invented them yet! From his early beginnings in Ohioto his legendary lab in Menlo Park, the childhood and life of Thomas Edison are illuminated in this narrative biography.

Review: Great Children’s Series - My children have to read this for history in school. I’ve never been a biography fan, but this series is written well and captures the interest of children. They are written at a reading level that a child could read it alone or listen to it during a read aloud. As an adult, I was interested in the story as well and found that I learned things I didn’t know.
Review: Good book - Book is easy to read. Font size is average but there is extra spacing between the lines. Captivating story.
