[Abby Gallier · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not only is this a good example of a science fiction book for children, it is relatable for younger children. This book illustrates how a young Albert Einstein may have acted when his parents tell him to come eat dinner, take a bath, or go to bed. It shows things that he may have done, and how he may have looked at world. This is a pretty easy read, suitable for ages 6-9, and interesting to show children what someone like Albert Einstein would have been like when he was their age.
