I am Albert Einstein

I buy books for my nephew, who turned 1 on Christmas Day. This is definitely for an older reader to read independently, however my brother and sister-in-law read to him every day. I buy all ranges of books to add variety for them (the adults). This is a beautiful book and a wonderful series overall. They are wonderfully written and illustrated. I learned something new when I read them before wrapping them as a gift. I love that they are multi-gendered and multi-racial. Even more, I just love the tagline: Ordinary People Change the World. I was unaware of this series until I heard the author talking about it on a podcast. I am so glad I found out about them. I will definitely be adding the entire series to my nephew's library.

As soon as I saw that this book was being released I had to buy it for my 6 year old son. Personally I think it's important to have kids learn about real people who did amazing things and this book does it in such a fun and kid friendly way. My son has the craziest imagination and is always thinking about creating and inventing new things so this was right up his alley. One of the things my son really got a kick out of from this book was the fun and colorful pictures and Einstein's mustache! He thought it was hilarious that even as a baby Einstein had a mustache! But overall we love this book and I plan on buying more books from Brad Meltzer, if his other children's books are as educational and fun as this one then we can't go wrong. I definitely recommend this for younger children because it encourages them to think, dream, and know that they can change the world.

It's a wonderful book to read with little kids. TBH I enjoyed it a lot. I would recommend it to anyone.

I really, really like this book and have recommended it to many friends. First, I love the I Am... historical biography series. We own all of them and I think the series is excellent and I wish there were more. I loved the focus in this book on the importance of curiosity and inquisitiveness in Einstein's life, and how the series highlighted how certain influences, like exposure to a medical student who was staying at his home, proved important factors. My only possible complaint -- while I love how the book makes Einstein accessible and interesting, it takes some liberties. Now, whenever we encounted Einstein, my son yells, "that's the guy who screams 'I LOVE MY HAIR!!!!'" which, while funny, perhaps made too much of an impression.

As a former teacher, I love gifting books from this series to friends and family with children. A simple book that creates knowledge in a fun way.

Both my boys (4/6) love this book and find parts of he dialogue really funny. It has been especially wonderful for my oldest son who is very advanced academically but sometimes takes an odd approach to things. We often refer to this book and how Einstein did things differently than other people; and although those people thought he was weird because of it, he was actually a genius who did remarkable things in life. Now all we have to do is work on is my son's humility because he now goes around telling people that he's just really smart, like Einstein....

These books are good quality, in material used & content. I've now bought a set of 12 & will probably buy more. They are written for 8-10 yo readers, but younger will like pics & older will still learn a lot. PS: Helen Keller is super cool because it has the alphabet in braille!

Every one of these books of ordinary people who change the world are so intuitive and educational for my daughter. She can’t get enough of them. She’s in first grade and just loves to learn. Brad is an excellent author and his children’s books are just as gripping and fun to read as his novels! Can’t wait to own the entire collection

This book was a part of the new series that I recently came across and I instantly fell in love. All the books in these series are based on true stories and the story is very encouraging. They are a bit expensive but I can assure you good quality visuals, story and paper and binding quality. We also bought I am (Helen Keller, Martin Luther King and Abraham Lincoln) from the series. My son is 4 and he is a bit young to understand the real meaning, but I am happy to have introduced these books to him, early!

Ogni insegnante di scuola primaria, dovrebbe leggere questo e condividerlo con i suoi studenti. I nostri bambini hanno bisogno di essere incoraggiati a capire i loro talenti e perchè il talento condiviso è una richezza per tutti. Non importa se è in inglese!

Love these books.

Very informative, interesting book.

子供がとても気にいってました。面白いです。
