Kid scientists : true tales of childhood from science superstars Cover Image Book

Kid scientists : true tales of childhood from science superstars / stories by David Stabler ; illustrated by Anoosha Syed.

Stabler, David, (author.). Syed, Anoosha, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"Forget the moon landing, the Nobel prizes, and the famous inventions. When the world's most brilliant scientists were growing up, they had regular-kid problems just like you. Albert Einstein daydreamed instead of paying attention in class. Jane Goodall got in trouble for bringing worms and snails in her house. And Neil deGrasse Tyson had to start a dog-walking business to save up money to buy a telescope. Kid Scientists tells these stories and more with full-color cartoon illustrations on nearly every page." -- Back cover.
