TIMELESS THOMAS: HOW THOMAS EDISON CHANGED OUR LIVES by Gene Barretta. Holt, 2012.
The demand for narrative nonfiction makes this a picture book that should be in demand. Tie it into social studies classes to demonstrate how inventions can change the landscape of a society. Include it in a unit on how to write biographical reports. Read it to see how Edison affected how we view and hear the world around us today. <471>
