SO YOU WANT TO BE AN INVENTOR?

Where would our world be without hook-and-loop fasteners (Velcro), frozen foods, or rocket fuel? Judith St. George shares stories of the determination, habits, and creativity of a multitude of inventors--male and female, youthful and seasoned. Christina Moore does a outstanding job animating what could sound like a mere listing of inventions. Her voice is dynamic, her timing excellent, and her interest genuine. The best possible scenario would be to listen to Moore while pouring over the book, which features David Small's engaging and humorous illustrations. Young listeners can settle in, prepare to be inspired, and think about what it is that THEY want to create. A.R. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 06]
