REVIEW:
Youngsters far and wide can readily identify the pudgy Pikachu, zany Mr. Potato Head, enterprising Mr. Monopoly, or bespectacled Molly McIntyre—but what about the masterminds behind them? The Toy Trailblazersseries presents the lives and crowning achievements of twentieth-century inventors in slim, 12-chapter volumes. Arranged chronologically, entries kick off with biographical information before homing in on the inception, formation, and ultimate success of each invention. . . . With captioned full-color photographs, inset “fun fact” sidebars, ample historical context, and appended time lines, this is a bright, engaging resource sure to spark curiosity and creativity in primary-grade readers.
