Great introduction for young readers to Albert Einstein. I like that it not only talks about his time as a scientist as an adult, but how he always thought and wondered as a child. The illustrations were great and really captured him. Read for Info Books for Youth for Grad School.

I absolutely loved the whimsical nature yet neutral tones of the pictures in this book. I'm going to be so bold as to say this could be a Caldecott contender.

A biography that is just perfect for young readers. With whimsical illustrations and just enough text, this book tells readers about young Albert and takes them along the journey of his life, showing how he wondered and questioned all along the way.

Although this book is creative and informative for kids, the overall vibe I got was boring. If it can't keep entertained - think about the kids! I felt very sleepy reading this book.

This was such a cute book! The art style is so adorable. The book was very informative, and I feel as though even though he's ver well-known, not many people know much about him apart from him being smart.

Absolutely spectacular. I love the playful, hand-drawn style of the illustrations. This is a book that could be read on multiple levels. If you read only the shorter pages and the large text in red, you have a book that even kindergarteners could listen to. Elementary school kids will relish the details about Einstein's quiet, slow development.

Written by Jennifer Berne and illustrated by the equally fantastic Vladimir Radunsky, this picture book takes us right through Einstein's life. From those initial years and his reluctance/delay in talking to the final ones where he constant got to do what he loved most: ponder, question and imagine. The title itself refers to a pivotal moment in his life when he realised that there were so many big questions out there which had yet to be answered or even asked.
What I take away from this story is that it was Einstein's choice to not conform to what the rest of society expected which helped make him great. He didn't want to dress like others, learn like others or live like others. He just wanted to pursue those things that interested him and in doing so was allowed to become one of the greatest minds of all our times.

A great introduction to Einstein's life and theories. Also a inspiring reminder to remain curious about the world and to keep asking questions.
