Reviews for Fireworks: Eureka! The Biography of an Idea

""Eureka: The Biography of an Idea employs a unique conceptual framework: weaving facts about everyday objects through details on the items’ historical and geographical evolutions...The narrative style of the series is conversational. The books exhibit energetic digital illustrations tied to the material, and explanatory diagrams detail the science of the invention. Unusual words are boldface and defined. Each title concludes with a set of facts about the innovation and a connected activity. This series would be a good fit for young students interested in inventions or assigned to research them."" —Booklist
