This biography is moving to the top of my favorites list!
The illustrations are bold and expressive. Words are inadequate to describe how they give the story such life and vibrancy!
Ms. Biebow engages the reader immediately with her well chosen words and sentence structure. She shares about Edwin Binney and his occupation and how it evolved into making a crayon that children could use safely and easily.
In the back the author includes photographs from the actual Crayola Factory in Easton, PA and how crayons are currently made. A must read before touring this factory (or afterwards!).
A great book when discussing inventors, experimenting and persevering!
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
