On a Beam of Light

A Story of Albert Einstein

A boy rides a bicycle down a dusty road. But in his mind, he envisions himself traveling at a speed beyond imagining, on a beam of light. This brilliant mind will one day offer up some of the most revolutionary ideas ever conceived. From a boy endlessly fascinated by the wonders around him, Albert Einstein ultimately grows into a man of genius recognized the world over for profoundly illuminating our understanding of the universe. Jennifer Berne and Vladimir Radunsky invite the reader to travel along with Einstein on a journey full of curiosity, laughter, and scientific discovery. Parents and children alike will appreciate this moving story of the powerful difference imagination can make in any life.©2013 Jennifer Berne (P)2013 Recorded Books

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Sallis has always been the master of doing more with less, as he demonstrates once again with this startling experimental novel...The theme of working with 'what you have left, ' a constant in Sallis's world, permeates every sentence of this slim, insightful work." ( Publishers Weekly starred review)

The couple of dollars I paid were too much.

Terrible. I got it for the grandkids, but there is nothing to it. Don't bother.

Very short audio book!

This a very short audio book that might be a decent listen for kids, specially the kids who like Albert Einstein. However, it is a bit too short to understand much about Einstein or interesting scientific discoveries or theories by Einstein.

P.S. Looks like the actual book is a picture book with illustrations for kids, meant for a fun read. So, having an actual book or kindle book along with this audio book makes sense rather than this audio book by itself.
