"Sixteen
poems turn into a trip through time with the people who invented some
of the things that make our lives easier, better, and more enjoyable.
Sidman manages to turn the voices of these people into narrative poems,
just at the moment of creativity that is about to change the world . . .
This is a great starting or finishing point for students researching
any of these people, but the entire book reads beautifully as one
amazing journey from before recorded time to the present. "
Booklist
"Celebrating
that combination of creative insight and steadfastness that
characterizes the successful inventor, the book dovetails neatly with
general collections of science poetry."
Riverbank Review
"This elegant volume of poems about inventors is an example of creavity well applied . . . . "
