نقد و بررسی

Rich Orlow narrates steadily and distinctly, letting the world of Albert Einstein reveal itself to young listeners. Albert was described by his parents as "so different, but dear." A gift of a compass opened up the world; a childhood experience of watching sunlight and imagining a ride on a light beam spurred him on to a life of questioning. Listeners will find Albert "imagining, wondering, figuring, and thinking" while on his sailboat, playing his violin, or walking around town in his signature sweaters and baggy pants. The science of time and space had a genius on its hands, and Orlow also voices the enthusiasm of several scientists who are excited by Einstein's teachings. The production concludes with an author's note in which Orlow's own passion for Einstein is evident. A.R. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine

Gr K-3-This imaginative rendition of the early life of Albert Einstein captures the wonder of a child who thinks about things in ways adults simply cannot fathom. Albert is an awkward youth who doesn't fit comfortably into conventional situations. His fascination with mysteries of physics lead him to imagine that his pedestrian life is linked to profound and universal forces. Even without the print version's illustrations, the audio version, narrated by Rich Orlow, manages to convey the magic of the scientist. There aren't other noteworthy biographies of Einstein for the younger set. This one is an honorable contribution.-Robin Levin, Fort Washakie School/Community Library, WY
