Review

This book came about when the author learned that Thomas Edison had once pounded his fist on the table and told Henry Ford "Keep at it". Both Thomas Edison and Henry Ford were curious and dreamed of creating their own inventions. Thomas Edison seemed to have more success and Henry Ford wanted to know why. When Henry Ford finally met Thomas Edison to ask him that question he learned that persistence was the key to success. Henry Ford then went on to create the Model T car after many failures and the two men became friends. This is a good book to read aloud to children in the younger grades. It is interesting and shows them some of the qualities necessary to reach your goals.

Overall Book Score: very good
