No one thought much of young Thomas Alva Edison. He couldn't focus at school and caused trouble around the house. But where others saw a distracted and mischievous boy, his mother saw imagination and curiosity. When he was only seven years old, Al, as he was called as a young child, got kicked out of school and from then on his mother oversaw his rigorous at-home education while also allowing him great freedom to explore and dream. Those early years of encouragement and loving guidance formed the man who would apply those valuable lessons as well as his rich imagination to inventing the phonograph, the motion picture camera, the light bulb and more. Inside, readers will: meet the larger-than-life personality of Thomas Alva Edison, hear a tale of an underdog overcoming all the odds, learn about the power of curiosity, and take a carefully researched and actively told romp through history"-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 $a Ages 4-8 $b Zonderkidz. 600 10 $a Edison, Thomas A.
