Thomas Alva Edison, Great Inventor
David A. Adler
When Edison was a little boy, he constantly asked questions. That's one huge tip to take from his childhood for our own children. His curiosity and determination led him to invent many useful things. From his experience concerning the usefulness of mistakes came his memorable quote: "genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." He knew that to get the results you want you just have to keep trying over and over and over.
David Adler wrote other biographies for this age too. His books relate facts but he couches them in a pleasant narrative.
I hesitate to assign grade or age levels. These levels are general suggestions due to the fact that younger children probably would not have the stamina to listen to the longer books. Also not all content is suitable for younger children. But all ages would enjoy hearing or reading the stories on the list marked for PreK-4.
