Incredible Inventors (Paperback)

Modern life would be quite different if not for the innovative ideas of inventors. Ideas were just the start of it though; they needed the wherewithal and determination to fail many times before they succeeded. This set introduces some of the most famous inventors in American history to young readers, including Alexander Graham Bell, Grace Hopper, and Benjamin Franklin. The achievable text covers their early lives leading up to one of their greatest innovations, as well as the story behind it. Historical images complement the biographical content and show readers tools and devices of the past.
