I read this book to a class of first graders along with a biography on Marie Curie. I enjoyed listening to some kids answering other kids’ questions about physics. “Gravity is what holds you to the Earth!” I like how child-friendly this series of biographies is, and I enjoyed imparting some knowledge about my favorite physicists to a group of children.

This is a great kids biography. It's short and to the point. Along with a short version of his life story, there is a timeline with factoids and a vocabulary list in the back of the book. I would definitely use this book in my classroom!
