Genius Optical Inventions: From the X-Ray to the Telescope

(4) 4-6 Incredible Inventions series. Illustrated by Sarah Conner. These nonfiction introductions accessibly describe complex histories of inventions (e.g., who really invented the telephone?). The texts are well written and interesting, but inconsistent layout decisions occasionally disrupt natural reading flow, and the rudimentary digital coloring of the illustrations detracts from the overall quality of these sturdily made, informative books. Ind. Review covers these Incredible Inventions titles: Genius Communication Inventions, Genius Engineering Inventions, Genius Optical Inventions, and Genius Transportation Inventions.
