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.
