From the time he was born, Albert Einstein was quirky. He was a fat baby with an odd shaped head, prone to outbursts of anger, a loner, an indifferent student with a gift for music and math...generally an "odd boy." But he had a brilliant capacity for solving puzzles and scientific problems. The ideas he had in childhood changed the way we understand the world around us. Adorable and humorous pen and ink illustrations make this appealing to young readers.
