Odd Boy Out: Young Albert Einstein
Brown, Don. Odd Boy Out: Young Albert Einstein. Houghton Mifflin, 2004. ISBN 0618492984. $16.00. Ages 4-8.
I think Odd Boy Out was a good book. If someone wanted to learn about Einstein they would get a lot of information. I think it was sort of funny that he did not talk until he was three, but he was very smart.
I like the drawings. But he only used a couple colors. He makes good drawings of people. If he had used color it would have been better. It would have been more lively. If it talked about Albert more that would have been more informational. If it was longer it would of made more interest. Also, if the book had a different title, like Albert’s Life or Einstein. Overall, I think it was a good book. He added a lot more details. People have a lot of old clothes. It was like the old days and what they used to look like back then.

If you enjoy a book about space, dumb but funny aliens and flying meatballs then you would enjoy Hazel Nutt, Alien Hunter by David Elliot. The story tells of a girl whose name is Hazel Nutt.

If you like books about dreams then you’ll like The Remembering Stone by Barbara Russell. It’s about a girl who tries to find out what her dream is, and when she does she wants to make it happen.

The illustrations by Claire B. Cotts were vivid and went right with the story. Throughout the whole book it sends you a message, not to let go of your dreams.

If you are just learning how to read and like books that rhyme you would like The Whole Green World by Tony Johnston. Elisa Kleven did a great mix of cartoon and realistic pictures.

This book might not have been the best book ever to a 5th grader, but it would be good to a younger child.
