Thomas Edison's working life produced inventions that reshaped ordinary households, and this illustrated biography sets out that story for readers of about seven and up.
Wonder House Books focuses on how Edison's curiosity developed and how he handled setbacks, rather than reciting a timeline of dates. Colour illustration runs throughout, and a glossary plus a set of fact panels support children reading it without help. The framing encourages questions about how inventions come about, which makes it usable alongside school work on science and technology.
Supporting material:
• Account of Edison's curiosity and persistence
• Glossary explaining terms as they arise
• Fact panels set alongside the main narrative
• Written for independent readers from about seven
For young readers interested in science and invention, published by Wonder House Books and found at Boipoka.
