Review: GREAT BOOK - These "Who was" books are fantastic. Not only are the great for younger readers (my granddaughter is 7) but, they are full of information about the subject (in this case Edison) and she is learning about history at the same time. . She has already read several of these "Who was" books. She is improving her reading skills, enjoys learning about the person in the book and it opens the door to discuss other things (ie other inventors of the time, what life was like before Edison etc). I would highly recommend any of the "Who was" books
Review: Comprehensive - It was easy to read and has a lot of details. I bought for my child, but was very impressed and read the book myself. I learned a lot about Mr. Edison that I did not know.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT BOOK
*by B***N on October 14, 2020*

These "Who was" books are fantastic.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comprehensive
*by A***R on April 16, 2024*

It was easy to read and has a lot of details. I bought for my child, but was very impressed and read the book myself. I learned a lot about Mr. Edison that I did not know.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was a child's smart gift choice.
*by F***L on February 13, 2024*

I was not familiar with this series but a child at a local school asked for a "who was" or "what was" book as part of a Christmas child in need project at a local elementary school. The fact that a child wanted one of these books, something to read and learn from, impressed me, as did the content and engaging illustrations when I read them myself. Of course, Amazon had them and I bought a bunch for this youngster whom I wish I could hug and thank for likely growing up to make the world a smarter and better place.
