Gary and the Great Inventors: It's Laundry Day!

Product Description Today is Laundry Day! My name is Gary and I love to learn about great inventors. Please join me as I learn about Thomas Jennings, the first African American to receive a patent for his invention in the United States. Review One of my granddaughters who got [Gary and the Great Inventors] for a present relayed this story to her Dad... It turns out the teacher was asked the 3rd grade class if anyone knew what a patent was for? Having read about inventors and the need to get a patent, my 8 year old granddaughter raised her hand excitedly saying she knew. She told what it was and explained she had learned about patents from the inventor's book her grandparents had given her. Isn't that amazing? We were so proud of her. This is a great book for all ages. As an adult I learned about Thomas Jennings being the first African American to get a U.S. patent. The content of this book is excellent an very educational. The illustrations are so real they jump off the page. I would recommend this book to all ages. I look forward to reading more educational books from this new author (Akura Marshall). You have a great future as a writer! I love how authentic this book is on African American history and explains it in a way that children can understand. It's an adorable book and my son loves it! I loved the book, my children loved the book!!! It was wonderful to see a children's book that provides STEM and history that my children enjoyed and understood. Great substance and illustration. Hopefully there are more to come! Great read for all young children! My 2 kids (8 & 1) enjoyed this book. This is a great book for young readers. The book is beautifully illustrated and the content is informative. We look forward to more books from this author. This is a great book for inspiring readers. For any child who wants to know more about African American inventors this is very good for beginners.
