The blog tour of the new First Names book about Einstein continues! Did you know that when Einstein was young he was given the nickname "The Dopey One"? Or that when he was ill in bed as a boy he was given a compass to pass the time and it changed his life? Or that he revelled in tormenting and annoying his teachers and professors and even FAILED tests and exams at school? Neither did I! Reading this fast-paced, funny illustrated non-fiction title about Einstein opened up a whole new world to me. You really feel like you are living Einstein's life beside him, all of his challenges and successes, his frustrations and his triumphs. I also really enjoyed seeing his more complicated theories explained using illustrations and language that younger readers can understand. It's a truly fascinating read packed with information and a ton facts that highlight why Einstein was so unique, a true genius that was often misunderstood. He was someone who had pure curiosity about the universe and how it worked. I loved this story and I recommend it for ages 9+
