Slade, Suzanne The Inventor’s Secret: What Thomas Edison
Told Henry Ford, illustrated by Jennifer Black Reinhardt. PICTURE BOOK.
Charlesbridge, 2015. $17. Content: G.
Thomas Edison was already famous for many inventions before
Henry Ford met him in 1896. Henry Ford has already tried many different
ways to build a moving vehicle for the masses before he met Thomas Edison in
1896. After that meeting, and the big secret to inventing that Edison
told Ford, the two became fast friends. And eventually Ford was able to
build a vehicle that would make him famous and bring automobiles to everyone.
What a great book for any science or technology class
- or really any class that deals with creating. Pair this with Ashley
Spires Most Magnificent Thing for a great mini lesson on perseverance and the
sweat equity involved in inventing.
