I think this was the book I read. I can't remember anything but that it was about Edison and that I really liked it. And a telegraph. And wires. STOP.

We learned about Thomas Edison during our unit on creativity. Scientists use creativity to solves problems and create new things.
Encouraging, enlightening and empowering.
