I have read several of the Getting to Know… book series by Mike Venezia and have enjoyed them all. This series on the inventors and scientists make science fun for young readers with its humorous cartoons and interesting easy to follow facts. Elementary schools and libraries would be remiss in not purchasing the entire collection. *This edition has become a bit outdated because it was written before Steve Jobs passed away from cancer in 2011.

I learned a lot!! *When this book was published, Steve Jobs was still alive and kicking. This book, therefore, does not mention his passing*
