review 1: I really loved this book about Albert Einstein. It is a short, picture-book biography of Einstein focusing upon the person and character of Einstein--basic facts in his life and what seemed to motivate him to do the things he accomplished. I was particularly moved by a passage early in the book where he is having difficulty at school. The text talk about how Einstein does not fit in at school; he is expected to behave more like the other children. The illustration shows the teacher and Einstein in one segment and neat, identical lines of children in the other. It is a nice book to introduce the curious mind of a scientist to children.
review 2: Highly simplistic and filled with cartoon style illustrations, this biography of Albert Einstein invites young st... moreudents into the mind of a great thinker and encourages them to dream, imagine, ask questions, read, study and ponder possible explanations for the workings of the universe and events of the world. In describing the internal life of this world renowned genius, we all get a glimpse of work of both the creative and analytical mind that should inspire us all the deeply consider the world around us. less
