This well-written book is a great introduction for children to the life of Thomas Edison. Starting off with his childhood, we continue to read about his two marriages (first wife died), children and his inventions.Did you know that Edison "only received 3 months of formal education?" What was his favorite book? By what age had he lost most of his hearing?Well-illustrated throughout with the section on his inventions including a photo and description. What happened in 1882? How did he propose to his first wife? Bet there aren't that many men out there who could claim to have proposed this way!
