Riding on a Beam of Light: Albert Einstein: Riding on a Beam of Light (Young Albert Einstein)

This little book delivers a big ideas for little heads. Stressing Einstein's remark about imagination being more important than knowledge, it gives both children and parents something to think about. The rhythm of the text and the beautiful pictures will make it a favorite for children of all ages. If your children have big imaginations, as mine have, they will be delighted with the young Albert's adventures as well as the vivid illustrations.

Very interesting but is there a book 2 and 3, etc. I am curious for more. What else can or should I say? Grown ups are overgrown children.

Riding of a Beam of Light is a well done picture book that help encourage a child's imagination. The pictures are extremely well done and the story is good for younger children. It teaches kids to explore the world around them by asking questions and letting their imaginations free. The format I looked at was a pdf on my iPad which is not the greatest for sharing with a two year old, but I could see a print version of this really appealing to younger kids for family reading or beginning readers.I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Albert Einstein as a child had an active imagination to say the least. He would day dream and dream while sleeping. He would dream of adventures like riding on a beam of light. He would use his imagination to follow the beam of ride light through the Universe and beyond. He came up with some earth changing ideas thanks to his imagination. He would write all of his ideas down then continue to contemplate on the ideas.The author takes young Albert as a role model and explains to children how their imagination can take them anywhere they wish to go. He encourages children to dream big. Yes, follow your dreams! From things I have heard and pictures I have seen Albert Einstein he must have been a fun person to be around even as a child. I enjoyed the story very much and I am most certain children will enjoy the story also. The illustrations were fun, brilliant in colors and imagination. It's apparent to me, the author and illustrator have been inspired by young Albert!I highly recommend this book.Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book from JSK Communications for review. I was in no way compensated for this review. This review is my honest opinion.

That makes learning fun.

It all started with a beam of light for Albert Einstein...and it may for a little scientist at bedtime now! This charming children's book is sure to be a favorite story - and as another reviewer noted - a great read any time of the day! Easy to understand, with delightful illustrations, this is a terrific first introduction for kids into the world of science and imagination!

This book is a wonderful, vibrant book for kids!! It is about one of science's greatest minds, Albert Einstein, and how it was his boyhood that actually inspire him to some of his greatest developments.A great book to teach kids to reach for the stars - and beautiful and fun as well!!
