The Story of Albert Einstein is an illustrated biography for kids. This book tells of Einsteins birth and childhood. We learn about his time in school and how he got in trouble for asking too many questions. We hear about how Albert worked various jobs and eventually became famous for his scientific work.
This chapter book is perfect for older elementary school kids, I would think grade 3 and up. The book, like others in the series, has a timeline in each chapter and several discussion questions sprinkled throughout the book that will help kids think deeper about ideas presented in the book. This is a great introductory work for kids to learn more about Einstein. This book may help spark an interest in science in young readers.
I received an advanced review copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

'The Story of Albert Einstein: A Biography Book for New Readers' by Susan B. Katz is a biography for young readers.
From Albert Einstein's early years to his death, this book tell a life over eight chapters. From his youngest days, not speaking until he was four, and not doing well in school, to his days working in the patent office where he came up with early theories. Albert Einstein's theories helped develop nuclear weapons, but Albert Einstein was a pacifist.
I liked this concise and easy to read story. The chapters are broken up with nice illustrations and infographics. There are quizzes, a glossary and a bibliography at the end.

Another great addition to the Story Of series for young readers! In this volume, kids learn about Albert Einstein and his work in science and physics, told in clear, age appropriate language. The text gives an overview of his life and work that hits all the highlights, both good and bad, to provide a good introduction to Einstein. As always, each chapter includes a timeline and thoughtful discussion questions, with a quiz, glossary, and bibliography at the end of the book. The illustrations are engaging, and add a nice touch to the text.
