Eureka!
Poems about Inventors
Joyce Sidman
illustrated by K. Bennett Chavez 2002
This book is a really unique combination of poems, biographical information, and artwork about famous inventors. Starting off with the invention of the first clay pot by primitive peoples, through the centuries to the computer age. The poems are solid, not mere children's ditties, and are excellently crafted. One poem titled "Do Ya Know 'Em?" gives rhyming clues to match the inventors with their inventions. A really enjoyable read!
