Overview

This biography of the famous American inventor Thomas Alva Edison examines Edison's childhood learning problems and severe hearing loss. Despite these difficulties, Edison learned the joy of reading, especially about science and technology, which he continued to build upon throughout his life, resulting in his invention of the light bulb, phonograph and other discoveries. Considered by many as America's greatest inventor, Thomas Edison proved wrong those who told his mother that he would not amount to much, and rose above the childhood problems that could have limited his potential.

Written for students and young adult readers, this biography also includes an extensive vocabulary builder and ten thought-provoking review questions. Great for book reports and homeschoolers.
