Good summary of Einstein's life

This is a well written biography for young children on the life of Albert Einstein. The author read over 50 books on Einstein's life & successfully distilled the information for kids - including some of his quirkiness which ought to keep their interest.

I don't particularly care for the artwork, though some of it is decent. The story is not only told in easily understood language, but important bits are typed larger and in red which adds to the story & will help hold a child's attention.

All in all a recommended read for children.

There is also an afterward that expands on some bits not covered in the book proper for older children interested in a little. The author also lists a handful of books for further reading, if interested.
