Grade 2–5—Albert Einstein's life and fundamental scientific accomplishments are presented in this interactive book by Don McLeese. The information is easy to understand, and students are not overwhelmed with complex scientific jargon. By pressing the play button, text and photographs are presented. Students can choose to have the text read to them by a narrator, and have the words highlighted, or turn the sound off and read it by themselves. A timeline of Einstein's life, a glossary, Web sites, and suggestions for further reading are provided after the biography. Teachers could use this as a introduction to the biography genre or in conjunction with a science unit.—Mercedes Smith, Kernan Trail Elementary School, Jacksonville, FL Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
