pickGreat collection of ancient inventions! I gave my copy to my brother in law.
pickI say that I have a hero I‘ve never met, and he knew nothing of me but cared enough to save me, and millions of others. The research was controversial but it‘s a story that people should know, because Banting acknowledged the dogs and their contribution to the research. Without them it wouldn‘t have happened. A huge part of Canadian history.
Side note: I lived and worked just down the road from his house in London for 10 years.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickI have TONS of things to read, so of course I went browsing through Libby‘s art section for some reason 🤷🏻♀️ and found this children‘s biography on the man who invented crayons! It never even occurred to me to wonder who did that or why even though they‘re something that had a fundamental impact on most of our lives. Also, fittingly, stellar art!
“By accident Joe and Bob had invented a totally new color.“
I thought this book was great! It had a great story about two brothers' lives and how they came to stumble upon inventing neon colors. In addition, the illustrations were great because there were more and more neon colors as the book progressed. The audience for this book would be 2-6 grades. I think the story would hold their interest and the pictures are very eye-catching and attractive
pickJoe and Bob Switzer were very different brothers. When an accident left Bob recovering in a darkened basement, the brothers began experimenting with ultraviolet light and fluorescent paints. Together they invented a whole new kind of color, one that glows with an extra-special intensity—Day-Glo
“The Switzers brothers' illuminating tale begins with Bob, born in 1914.“
This book would be a great read-aloud for a science lesson because they can be categorized as inventors, especially since what they created was very much science-based. Because of its storytelling structure it is very engaging for the readers and the use of illustration also keeps it interesting.
pickThis nonfiction picture book follows the story of Bob and Joe Switzer and how they came up with the idea of fluorescent colors and why exactly they did what they did. It uses facts and real-life events that happened to help carry the story along.
